Seamus the farmer had a nagging wife
She made his life miserable. The only real peace
he got was when he was out in the field
ploughing.
One day while in the field, Seamus’s wife brought
him his lunch. Then while he quietly ate she
berated him with a constant stream of nagging
and complaining. Suddenly, Seamus’s old
donkey kicked up his back legs, struck her in the
head killing her instantly.
At the funeral, the Priest noticed that when the
women offered their sympathy, Seamus would
nod his head up and down. But when the men
came up and spoke quietly to him, he would
shake his head from side to side.
After the mourners left, the Priest approached
Seamus and asked, “Why did you nod your head
up and down to all the women and shook from
side to side to all the men?”
Well, Seamus replied, “The women all said how nice
she looked, and her dress was so pretty, so I agreed by
nodding my head up and down. And all the men
asked, “Is that donkey for sale?”
