Where's The Pork?

This weekend, while you're enjoying Thanksgiving leftovers and the company of friends and family, maybe like us, you like to swap favorite stories and jokes.

Here’s an old one about a pig you might like:

"fidel goes to a hog farm and tells the manager: I want you to try this new diet on this pregnant sow. I've devised it myself and I think we could double the production of piglets. Some months later the sow has the average number of piglets, 5 piglets. The farm manager is a little nervous, but tells the district manager that fidel's sow produced 6 piglets. The district manager calls the provincial managers and is happy to announce that the sow had 7 piglets. This man is very excited and calls the national manager to announce the birth of 8 piglets. The national manager calls the minister of agriculture, and can't contain his happiness when he announces that fidel's sow produced 9 piglets. The Minister is ecstatic. He calls fidel and triumphantly announces that his diet has produced 10 piglets. fidel says: "Just what I thought would happen. This is what we'll do: we'll export five piglets, and the five that remain will be allocated for national consumption."

This is SOOOOO Soviet, very Brezhnevian humor. Why do all commie regimes, regardless of culture, have the SAME humor?

Great story, Ziva!
