fetching young bride ( Archived) (7)

the old farmer went to town to find hisself a bride. Found a fetching young heffer, gist as purdy as kin be. They did all the right and proper things , got married by a right righteous preacher, they did!! Soon they were on their way in their mule drawn carriage, to the honeymoon cottage.

Along the way, the mule stopped. And as mules are prone to do, refused to take off again. The farmer stepped off the cart, looked into the mules's eyes and said"...that's one!" The mule immediately took off.

Well, it was a long way to the honeymoon cottage, cause them hillbillies, likes to keep things kinda quiet and personal like. Anyhoo, the mule stopped again. The farmer stepped down, punched the mule in the head and said"...that's two" And the mule returned to his job.

Just before arriving at the cottage, the mule stopped a third time. The farmer got off the cart, pointed a shotgun at the mule, and said "...that's three", and fired, killing the poor animal on the spot.

As the farmer and his bride were walking the rest of the way the bride said,"...don't you think shooting the mule was a bit extreme?" The farmer replied"...that's one!"

Are we speaking form personal experience Ship?

Maaaaaaaybe!!!!
