The Nagging Wife
An old hillbilly farmer had a wife who nagged him unmercifully. From
morning till night (and sometimes later), 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 haranguing him again. Complain, nag, 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."
