A newly wed farmer is trying to make friends with his mother in law. The young man really is making an effort but the woman simply is a witch. One day she visits the farm shortly after the wedding. The young man is showing her around but the mother in law simply persists in a steady stream of criticism. Nothing pleases her. As the young farmer is escorting her past the stall of a mule, the mule kicks out and hits the mother in law in the head, killing her instantly.

At the cemetery, the minister notices that whenever women come up and speak quietly to the young farmer, he nods and smiles briefly at them and they walk away quietly. However when men come up and speak quietly to him, he shakes his head emphatically and says a few words to them. The men walk off looking disappointed.

The minister asks the young man to explain the differences in behaviour of men and women.

The young farmer replies:" The women express sympathy to me for my loss".

The minister asks: " But why do you shake your head at what the men say and they walk off looking disappointed?"

The farmer says: " They kept asking me if they could borrow the mule - and I kept telling them he was booked up for a year".

When is that mule free? I need to make a booking......

Cheers, Dave.
