Farmer Jake had a nagging wife who made his life miser-
able. The only real peace that he got was when he was
out in the field plowing.
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 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 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!?'"
