Farmer Jake had a nagging wife who made his life miserable. 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 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!?'"
