slacker Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 A newspaper editor heard a report that 2020 pigs had been stolen from a farm, so he called the farmer to check the story. The farmer told him the same story but the editor changed the number for insertion in the news. Why? This one's fun! B) Quote Link to comment

IrishAZ Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 The farmer was not particularly bright, so he could only count on his fingers and toes (20). Since he didn't know multiplication either, he expressed the number of pigs (40) as "twenty twenty". Quote Link to comment

IrishAZ Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 There were 22 animals in all...the farmer had a heavy accent and said "two sows and twenty pigs". Quote Link to comment
slacker Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 WE HAVE A WINNER! CONGRATULATIONS IrishAZ! A newspaper editor heard a report that 2020 pigs had been stolen from a farm, so he called the farmer to check the story. The farmer told him the same story but the editor changed the number for insertion in the news. Why? As he talked to the farmer on the phone, the newspaper editor realized that the man had a slight lisp and that what he had actually reported stolen was "two sows and twenty pigs." You asked for it, the next one will be a toughie. Quote Link to comment
