Mule humor
The trials and tribulations with the Tasco scope reminded me about one of my wife's uncles.
He had just purchased a new mule. Every time he would try to put the mule in the barn his ears, which seemed a little longer than normal would brush against the top of the door frame and the mule would balk not wanting to go inside. He went to get his tools so he could enlarge the doorway when his son came to visit. he had just come in from college and was going to spend some time with the folks. The son surveyed the problem and said, dad you don't need to do all that work raising that door sill. Why don't you just dig out from underneath the bottom of the door instead, it looks like it would be less work in the long run. Uncle Drew thought a minute and said son, you ain't learned a thing in that big college have you? It ain't his legs thats too long it's his ears.

Re: Mule humor
Seem to me would take even less effort to tranq the mule and dock the ears...

Rusty boy, that would be real easy to do in that Florida sand but up here in the Arkansaw Ozarks it would be real hard digging threw all the rock.

Re: Mule humor
Then there's the one where the farmer put his mule up for sale and a fellow showed up the next day, who offered him the full asking price of $400 on the spot. The farmer wanted the buyer to bring the money when he came back to load the mule but the buyer insisted and gave him the cash, promising to return the next day. The next morning, the buyer showed up with truck and trailer. The farmer came out of the house red-faced and told the second man that the mule had died overnight. Even worse, he had gone into town the night before and spent all of the $400 on whiskey, women and wild times.
The buyer didn't even blink and told the farmer to help him load the dead mule. The farmer was dumbstruck but did as asked and soon the man left with the dead animal. A few weeks later, the farmer saw the man in town and what had happened. The reply was that he had sold the dead mule in a lottery at a dollar a ticket and made $500. The farmer said, "Boy, you must have made a bunch of people mad, selling a dead mule." The other said, "No, I only made one guy mad - and I already done gave him a full refund"...

Re: Mule humor
I've been wondering how Jeremiah's been doing.
Always wanted a mule. My grandfather had one while he was on the Border Patrol in the 20s. I've got a good picture of him and his mule and a 99 Savage. Just thinking I'll have to scan that one and put it up.

Re: Mule humor
I've always heard that the greatest disadvantage of a mule in regards to a horse is that you can't work a mule to death.
You might get mad and beat him to death, or shoot him.
You might starve him to death, but you won't work himself or run himself to death for you.
A mule will do as much as he thinks is reasonable and then will do no more.
A horse on the other hand will run for you until his heart bursts and he falls dead. He will work himself to death trying to carry, haul, or drag loads beyond their capability. They will just plain give all they have for their master.
Some folks say this is a sign that mules are much smarter than horses.

Re: Mule humor
Roy stopped to visit his friend Levi.
Roy asked, "How're things, Levi?"
Levi replied, "Not so good, my mule is sick."
Roy said, "Farmer Brown's mule was sick last spring. Let's go and see what he did about it."
So the two went on over to Farmer Brown's, Roy did the talking.
"Farmer Brown, I heard your mule was sick last spring," said Roy.
"Yup, he was", replied Farmer Brown.
"Well, Levi's mule is sick, too, and we were wondering what you did about it", asked Roy.
"I gave my mule turpentine", answered Farmer Brown.
So the two went back to Levi's, and went into the barn. They poured out a cup of turpentine and gave it to the mule. The mule swallowed the turpentine and dropped dead.
Puzzled, the two journeyed back to Farmer Brown's.
Roy began, "Farmer Brown, you said you gave your mule turpentine when it was sick last spring".
Farmer Brown answered, "Yup".
Roy continued, "Well, we just gave Levi's mule turpentine, and it killed him."
Farmer Brown answered, "Yup, killed mine, too".
Roy asked, "How're things, Levi?"
Levi replied, "Not so good, my mule is sick."
Roy said, "Farmer Brown's mule was sick last spring. Let's go and see what he did about it."
