> harangue the mule with increasing volume and frustration. when this
> fails, he looks the mule in the eyes and says, "That's one!" The farmer
> gets back in the buggy, and amazingly enough the mule heads on down the
> road. The new wife is stunned and amazed at the farmer's ability to
> motivate the mule.
> About a half mile later, at a bridge the mule halts again. The
> farmer goes through the routine once again, finally ending with "That's
> two!" Once again the mule heads on down the road.
> About a half mile later the mule stops for the third time. The
> farmer goes to the back of the buggy and gets his rifle and shoots the
> mule, all without comment. The wife immediately explodes "How could you
