A Spring-ey Little Cocktail for Your Gray Matter

What is Time to a Pig?

I was reading the wonderful Havi this morning, and she improved my  mood, as much as you can improve with a brain ache that interrupts every thought you have. 

She’s talking about time management this week.  You really should go read the post.  I’ll put in a tidbit, but then you have to promise to go read the rest.  It’s really insightful.

Three farmers are hanging out discussing their pig feeding techniques, as farmers like to do.

The first brags that his technique is the best: he lets his pig root around under the apple tree and eat old apples that have fallen to the ground. The second one says that actually his technique is better. What he does is take a stick to knock down apples from the tree for the pig to feed on.

But the third farmer is able to completely out-do both of the others. What he does, he explains, is to pick up the pig and hold it up to the tree at apple level so the pig can eat apples to his heart’s content.

The first two farmers are appalled. Isn’t that unbelievably time-consuming?

The third farmer looks at them and says, “Yeah, but what’s time to a pig?”
