~Old Mule~
(Plus: Today in History, Word for the Day and 6 Differences.)

An old farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing and to make certain that lasted a long time, he did so with an old mule.

One day when he was out plowing, his wife brought him lunch and almost immediately, his wife began nagging him again. Suddenly the old mule lashed out with both hind feet and caught her in the back of her head, killing her dead on the spot.

At the funeral, the minister noticed that when a woman mourner would approach the old farmer, he would listen for a minute, then nod his head in agreement. But when a man mourner approached him, he would listen for a minute, then shake his head in disagreement. After the funeral, the minister asked the old farmer why he nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed with all the men.

The old farmer said, "Well, the women would say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement. But the men, well they wanted to know if the mule was for sale." ***
