Ich glaube mein Schwein pfeift (I think my pig whistles)
Pigs actually cannot whistle at all! When something unbelievable happens, one likes to describe it with a saying that also describes unbelievable things. And because the pigs quack, scream and grunt but cannot whistle, you say "I think my pig whistles" when you are completely outraged and because something unheard of has happened.
