| There
was a farmer named farmer Jake. He had a nagging wife who made his
life miserable. The only real peace that he got was when he
was out in the field, Jake's wife brought his lunch to him. Then
she stayed while quietly he 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 woman offered their sympathy 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
of the mourners had left, the minister approached and asked,"Why
was it that you nodded your head up and down to all the woman 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 asked, "Is that mule for sale?"
