Mule Not For Sale

[palmettopirate]

Jake, a farmer, had a nagging wife who made
his life miserable.

One day when he was out in the field, Jake's
wife brought his lunch to him. Then she stayed
while he quietly ate and berated him with a
constant stream of nagging and complaining.

Suddenly, Jake's old mule kicked up his back
legs, striking the wife in the head, and killing
her instantly.

At the wake, Jake's minister noticed that when
the women spoke to Jake he
would nod his head up and down, but when the
men came up and spoke quietly to him, he
would shake his head from side to side.

When the wake was over and all the mourners
had left, the minister approached Jake and
asked, "Why was it that you nodded your head
up and down to all the women and shook your
head from side to side to all the men?"

"Well," Jake replied, "The women all said how
nice she looked, and her dress was so pretty,
so I agreed by nodding my head up and down.
The men all asked, "Is that mule for sale?"
