The farmer's son was returning from the market
with the crate of chicken's his father had entrusted to him, when
all
of a sudden the box fell and broke open. Chickens scurried off
in
different directions, but the determined boy walked all over the
neighborhood scooping up the wayward birds and returning them to
the repaired
crate. Hoping he had found them all, the boy reluctantly
returned home,
expecting the worst.
"Pa, the chickens got
loose," the boy confessed sadly, "but I
managed to find all twelve of
them."
"Well, you did real good, son," the farmer beamed. "You
left with
seven."

A man from the city is out plowing his field
and
gets his tractor stuck in the wet ground.
A farmer driving
by stops his truck and walks to the fence to call over
the city
feller. You need a mule to plow such wet ground he says.
"Where can
I buy one?" he is asked.
Well, I just happened to have one for
100 dollars he says.
"I'll take him," says the other man as he
counts out the money.
I can't bring him over today. I don't
work on Sunday morrow OK?
"Sure."
The next day the truck
pulls up and the old farmer gets out. He says,
"sorry, bad
news."
I went out after breakfeast and the mule was dead.
The city
feller says just give me my money back then.
"Can't, spent it
already!"
"Well... unload the mule then."
"What ya gonna do
with him?"
"Raffle him off!"
"Naw, ya cant raffle off a
dead mule!"
"Just watch me us! City fellers know a few tri
cks."
One month goes by and the city feller and farmer run into
each other at
the barber shop.
"What did ya do with that
dead mule?"
"Raffled him off, sold 100 tickets at two dollars each
and made 98
dollars profit."
"Didn't anyone complain?"
"Just one guy so I gave him his two dollars back!"

A husband and wife were driving down a country
lane on their way to visit some friends. They came to a muddy patch
in
the road and the car became bogged. After a few minutes of
trying to get
the car out by themselves, they saw a young farmer coming
down the
lane, driving some oxen before him.
The farmer
stopped when he saw the couple in trouble and offered to
pull the car
out of the mud for $50. The husband accepted and minutes
later the
car was free. The farmer turned to the husband and said, "You
know,
you're the tenth car I've helped out of the mud today."
The
husband looks around at the fields incredulously and asks the
farmer,
"When do you have time to plough your land? At night?"
"No," the
young farmer replied seriously, "Night is when I put the
water in
the hole."

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.'"
