Friday. Whew.
This week's Friday Funny comes from Tom, from Willie V's Catering in the great state of Oregon. Don't know if there's a lot of mules up there, but the joke's funny!
Have a great weekend, everyone! I'll be traveling on business all of next week, but I'll be posting as usual.
Cook something good, willya? Email me pictures! We love pictures, just remember to take out the REMOVETHESEWORDS from my email address, unless you're a spammer, in which case you're cordially invited to choke on them.
The Dead Mule
An old country farmer with serious financial problems sold a mule to another old farmer for $100, and he agreed to deliver the mule the next day.
However, the next day he drove up and said, "Sorry, but I have some bad news: The mule died."
"Well, then, just give me my money back."
"Can't do that. I went and spent it already."
"OK, then. I'll take the dead mule." And so he did.
"What ya gonna do with a dead mule?"
"I'm going to raffle him off."
"You can't raffle off a dead mule!"
"Sure I can. I just won't tell anybody he's dead."
A month later the two met up and the farmer who sold the mule asked, "Whatever happened with that dead mule?"
"I raffled him off just like I said I would. I sold 500 tickets at $2 a piece and made a profit of $900."
"Didn't anyone complain?"
"Just the guy who won. So I gave him his two dollars back."
That's pretty good, Scott.
I think there's a lesson there for all of us, Ana, but for the life of me I don't know what it is...
