A Farmer and his Mule

(Spicewood, Texas)

(Visitor's very funny joke):

One evening while his wife was cooking supper, a farmer who wanted to plow the back forty was attempting to get his stubborn mule in the pen.

The old mule, wise in his years, knew fully well that getting pined up meant he would be pulling a plow all day long the next day.

The farmer had the gate open, while slapping his straw hat against his leg, shouted to the mule, "Go on mule, get off in that pen".

The mule ran from side to side not wanting to get pinned up.

The farmer kept shouting "Go on Mule, get off in that pen".

After about thirty minutes, the farmers wife seeing he needed help, took off her apron and went out to help her husband. She didn't have a hat, so she started flopping her skirt up and down while shouting "Go mule, get off in that pen".

It seamed to make matters worse, the mule just refused to be pinned up.

Finally the farmer called out to his wife, "For Gods sake, Martha Mae, stop flopping your skirt up in the air, that mule thinks your trying to collar him".
