Oklahoma, Texas, and the Pig
A graduate from Oklahoma, a graduate from Texas and a Pig were in the hospital waiting room, each awaiting the birth of his first child.
Suddenly, the lights went out. Fortunately, power was restored shortly
thereafter and the head nurse made her way to the waiting room.
"I've got good news and bad news, gentlemen and Pig," she announced.
"Despite the electrical outage, two healthy boys and one healthy piglet have been delivered". However, since the lights went out at a most inopportune time, we aren't sure which firstborn belongs to whom.
The only way we know to resolve the problem is to draw straws and have the winner choose first."
The three proud papas agreed, and the Oklahoma grad won the drawing.
He was escorted into the delivery room and looked at the three newborns for a painstakingly long time. Finally, with head bowed, he scooped up the piglet and headed for the door.
"Sir, are you quite certain that you've made the right choice?" the nurse asked.
"No, I'm not," replied the Oklahoma Sooner grad. "But I just couldn't run the risk of ending up with the Texas kid."
