A farmer and his wife were
visited by her mother, who insisted on a tour of the place when she
arrived. When they were walking through the barn, for no apparent
reason, the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the
mother-in-law in the head, killing her instantly.
At the funeral service a few days later, the farmer stationed himself at
the casket and greeted friends and family as they walked by. The pastor
noticed that, whenever a woman would whisper something to the farmer, he
would nod his head, "Yes". Whenever a man walked by and
whispered to the farmer, he would shake his head, "No".
The pastor noticed this happened without fail, "Yes" to women,
"No" to men. He asked the farmer after the service what that
was all about.
The farmer replied, "The women would say, 'What a terrible tragedy'
and I would nod my head and say, 'Yes, it is'. The men would ask, 'Want
to sell that mule?', and I would shake my head and say, 'Not on your
life'."
