[SOC] Nagging Wife

[Bob N0UF]

An old Kansas 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 favorite
mule.

 One day, while he was plowing, his wife brought him lunch in the field.
He drove the mule into the shade, sat down on a stump, and began to eat
his lunch. Immediately, his wife started harassing him.

 Complain,...nag, ....nag; it just went on and on....

 All of a sudden, the old mule lashed out with both hind feet; caught
the wife 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 asked the farmer why he nodded his
head and agreed with the women, but always shook his head and disagreed
with all the men.

 The 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."
