Farmer was out plowing his field when his mule dropped dead. Needed to finish the job so he went down the road to see another farmer. He told him "my mule dropped dead and I need another one to finish the plowing. Have you got one for sale?" Other farmer said, "Yeah, I can sell you that big gray mule up there." First farmer said, "Okay, how much?" Second farmer said, "I'd sell him to you for $20.00." First farmer says, "That sounds kinda cheap, how come?" Second farmer said, "Well, he's getting kinda old. He can still pull a plow good, but he's old and he don't look so good. Some folks don't like that. So, $20.00." First farmer said, "That's okay, long as he can pull good, I'll take him." and he paid and left with the mule. Came back the next day and said, "That mule couldn't find his way to the barn and he kept walking into things. He's blind and you didn't tell me that." Second farmer said, "Well, I told you he don't look so good." dr
That joke was compliments of Mr. Burke Landry, the resident Cajun in the Writer's Guild here. He told me that joke last year in response to the mule joke I told him, which happens to be the one Henry Johnson told. I heard the joke first from Justin Wilson when he told it on his television cooking show. dr
