So this guy was in the market for a good mule. He saw one listed in the paper with no price or phone number. Just an address. So he went to the address listed and walked up on the porch and knocked on the door. An old man came out on the porch and the fellow stated his business. “ Yes sir I saw in the paper that you have a mule for sale”. The old man replied “That is Correct”. He asked “Well how much do you want for him?” “ 100 dollars” was the reply. “ Well that’s a very fair price for a good mule. Will he pull a wagon”? The old shook his head no. “Well will he pull a plow”? Again the old man shook his head no. “Well if he won’t pull a wagon or plow what good is he”? The old man replied “ He hunts squirrels”. Now thinking he had been duped the fellow said “ I can’t believe I drove all the way out here to look at a useless mule that supposedly hunts squirrels”. The old man became angry and said” Listen young feller you came up on my porch knocking on my door looking to buy a mule and I have a mule for sale for 100 $ . If you want him give me the money and take the mule. If you don’t want him get the hell off of my property” with that being said the fellow replied “ Now sir I didn’t mean to get you all lathered up it’s just that I’ve never heard of a mule that will actually hunt squirrels “. The old asked “ Well do you hunt squirrels “? The fellow said “Oh yes I do”. The old man said well if you would like to field test him I have a 22 and there’s 150 acres behind my house full of squirrels “. The fellow took him up on the offer and took the mule behind the house to settle his curiosity to whether or not this is really a mule that will tree a squirrel. Within 15 minutes the mule had treed 5 squirrels and performed better than any dog the fellow had ever hunted behind. He couldn’t believe his good fortune and was sure to become the most talked about in the hunting world. When heading back up to the house there was a creek that would have to be crossed and fortunately there was a dead fall across the water for the fellow so he wouldn’t have to get wet. The mule started out across the creek and then stopped and put his head under the water. The fellow figured he was just thirsty. 5 minutes passed and the mule picked his head up and got a deep breath and put his head back under the water. Bewildered the fellow just sat down on the edge of the creek and waited until the mule was finished doing whatever it was that he was doing. An hour went by and finally the mule came up out of the creek and walked back up to the house. The old man was waiting on the porch and asked the fellow what he thought. He said “Well we got 5 in the first 15 minutes and I’m telling you I’ve never hunted behind a dog as good as that mule. I will take him.” The old man said” Well you were gone along time. Why “? The fellow replied by telling him that for some odd reason the mule just stayed in the creek for some odd reason and would come back until he was ready. And that’s when the old man said” Yep. That’s the reason I’m selling him. It’s just gotten to where he would rather fish than hunt.”

Pretty funny. I told my friend, Tom, a horse shoer that I was in the market for a Mule. He called me a few days later and said he found a deal on a **** good one.....and it came with saddle, tack and breeches. I broke his heart when I told him I meant a Kawasaki Mule.Comment

I can agree, at my age and physical status, I'm leaning more toward toward fishing too.Comment
