There were two brothers who had a pig farm. Bout once a week they would hear squealing and the next morning they would be a pig shy.
Amos decided he'd had enough so he took to sitting in the upstairs window with his 44:40 at his side. Before he went to bed he had hung a lanturn on the post at the gate of the pen, and he vowed that the thief was going to have his last day.

Well, he sat there night after night and about 4 nights later he was dozing off when he heard the pigs squealing. He awoke to see a big black bear coming out of the pen with a shoat under one arm and holding the lanturn with her other paw!
He drew a bead right on that little white spot on her brisket and just as he was about to fire, that damned bear blew out the light!
