Fatten the Sow

Darwin was right
Three hillbilly brothers discuss saving their failing farm.

Middle Brother: "We should sell s'me land"
Oldest Brother: "We should lease s'me land"
Youngest brother: "Allright... I got an idea. We need $10,000, right?"
Brothers 1&2: "Yep"
Brother 3 continues: "The fair is comin' to town this summer. Let's take one of our sows 'nd fatten'er up and enter the fair contest! It's a $10,000 prize!"

After praising the baby brother for such genius, the 3 brothers set about picking the perfect pig and planning the perfect diet to fatten her up. Much to their dismay, however, they could not get the sow to gain weight. The more they fed her, the more she pooped. Not a single pound was gained.
Oldest Brother: "We could sell her."
Middle Brother: "She's still good for bacon."
Youngest Brother: "No... We need to plug her up. I been thinkin' let's get monkey 'nd train it to put a cork in the problem."
He grinned to himself proud of himself for this latest stroke of brilliance.
Once again congratulating their brother on his genius idea, the brothers set about their new plan. They procured a monkey from a local rescue and started training it. It wasn't hard and I didn't take long, and finally the monkey was ready to do his job. They gave the monkey a cork and put the pig and the monkey in the field together. Much to the Sow's surprise the monkey did exactly what he had been trained to do.
Finally the pig started gaining weight. She gained so much that by the time the fair came to town, she was huge. No other pig in the fair could compare to her size. After winning the $10,000 prize and paying off their debt the brothers had one final problem to face...
Oldest brother: "We can't leave her like that."
Middle Brother: "She's still good for bacon."
Youngest Brother: "No. She's a prize pig winnin' pig now. She deserves to live a long and happy life... We gotta get that cork out..."
Grimly the 3 brothers agreed. There was just one thing to do. They set about training their monkey to undo the job it had done. It was not hard and it did not take long, and finally the day came. The 3 brothers took the massive sow and the little monkey out to the same field where the whole thing had started.
Two days later the, 3 brothers awoke in the hospital. A doctor and a nurse stood at the foot of the oldest brothers bed...
Dr. "What is the last thing you remember?"
Oldest Brother: "Crap flyin' everywhere!"
The Dr. Nodded and moved on to the next bed.
Dr. "What is the last thing you remember?"
Middle Brother: "Crap flyin' everywhere!"
The Dr. Again nodded and moved on.
Dr. "What is the last thing you remember?"
Youngest Brother: "That poor little monkey tryin' to put the cork back in!!"
