An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who complained and nagged him unmercifully. From morning until night, and sometimes over in the early morning hours, she was always complaining and nagging about something.
The only time the farmer got any relief was when he was out plowing with his old mule. Therefore, he tried his best to stay in the field plowing as much and often as he could.
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 complaining and nagging him again. All he could hear was complaining...nagging...complainng... nagging; it just went on and on.
All of a sudden, the old mule who stood behind the couple lashed out with both feet; caught the old farmer's wife smack in the back of the head. Killed her dead on the spot. The old farmer sat looking at his dead wife lying on the ground, and countinued eating his lunch.
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, nod and bow his head in agreement; but when a man mourner approached the farmer, he would listen for a minute, raise his head and shake his head in disagreement. This was so consistant, the minister decided that he going to ask the old farmer about it after the funeral.
So after the funeral, the minister went to speak with the old farmer, to asked him why he bowed and nodded his head and agreed with the women, but always raised and shook his head and disagreed with all the men.
The old farmer looked at the minister and said, "Well preacher, the women would come up and say something about how nice my wife looked, or how pretty her dress was, so I would bow and nod my head in agreement with them."
So the minister asked,"And what about the men?' The old farmer stood up from his seat, put his hat on his head and said, "Well, preacher, all the men wanted to know if the mule was for rent or for sale."
Enjoy!!!
