WELC0ME to THURSDAY January 25. 2024
Here’s The Story…
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 and 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.'” 😳
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Have a GREAT THURSDAY, people, stay safe,
and whatever you do, don’t forget to laff it up! Peace, I am outta here! Eucman! 😁

Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
A man’s car stalled on a country road one morning. When the man
got out to fix it, a cow came along and stopped beside him.
“Your trouble is probably in the carburetor,” said the cow.
Startled, the man jumped back and ran down the road until he met
a farmer. The amazed man told the farmer his story.
“Was it a large red cow with a brown spot over the right eye?”
asked the farmer. “Yes, yes,” the man replied.
“Oh! I wouldn’t listen to Bessie,” said the farmer.
“She doesn’t know a thing about cars.” 😳
