Jokes number : 16

A newlywed farmer and his wife were visited by

her mother, who immediately demanded an inspection of the place.
The
farmer had genuinely tried to be friendly to his new
mother-in-law, hoping
that it could be a friendly, non-antagonistic
relationship. All to no
avail though, as she kept nagging them at every
opportunity, demanding
changes, offering unwanted advice, and generally
making life unbearable
to the farmer and his new bride.

While
they were walking through the barn, during the forced inspection,

the farmer's mule suddenly reared up and kicked the mother-in-law in

the head, killing her instantly. It was a shock to all no matter
their
feelings toward her demanding ways.

At the funeral service
a few days later, the farmer stood near the
casket and greeted
folks as they walked by. The pastor noticed that
whenever a woman would
whisper something to the farmer, he would nod his head
yes a
nd say something. Whenever a man walked by and whispered to the

farmer, however, he would shake his head no, and mumble a
reply.

Very curious as to this bizarre behavior, the pastor later asked the

farmer 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 was.' The men would then
ask, 'Can I borrow that
mule?' and I would shake my head and say,
'Can't. It's all
booked up for a year.'"
