An old country farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully.
From morning till night she was always complaining about something.
The only time he got any relief was when he was out plowing with
his old mule. He tried to plow a lot. One day, when he was out
plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field. He drove the old mule
into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat his lunch.
Immediately, his wife began nagging him again. Complain, nag, complain,
nag - it just went on and on. All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out
with both hind feet, caught her smack in the back of the head. Killed
her dead on the spot.
At the funeral several days later, the minister noticed
something rather odd. 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.
This was so consistent, the minister decided to ask the old
farmer
about it. So after the funeral, the minister spoke to the old
farmer,
and asked him 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 come up and say
something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her
dress was, so I'd nod my head in agreement.'
'And what about the men?' the minister asked.
'They wanted to know if the mule was for sale.'
