There was a woman who married a man who never thought of anyone other than himself. His favorite thing to do was to complain about his wife to anyone who would hear.
One day he went out with a mule and started complaining about his wife to the mule. The mule was so annoyed by his complaining that it beat the man to death.
At the funeral the rest of the village lined up to speak to the woman. She would nod her head to all the men that spoke to her, and shake her head no to all the women.
Afterwards the priest spoke to her:“Why did you shake your head yes to the men and no to the women?”
She replied:
“The men all gave their condolences, so I nodded my head yes to thank them politely. The women all asked if the mule was for sale.”
