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?”
