Mule Trading

Curtis & Leroy saw an ad in the Starkville, MS Daily and bought a mule for $100.

The farmer agreed to deliver the mule the next day.

The next morning the farmer drove up and said, "Sorry, fellows, I have some bad news, the mule died last night."

Curtis & Leroy replied, Well, then just give us our money back."

The farmer said, "Can't do that. I went and spent it already."

They said, "OK then, just bring us the dead mule."

The farmer asked, "What in the world ya'll gonna do with a dead mule?"

Curtis said, "We gonna raffle him off."

The farmer said, "You can't raffle off a dead mule!"

Leroy said, "We sure can! Heck, we don't hafta tell nobody he's dead!"

A couple of weeks later, the farmer ran into Curtis & Leroy at the Piggly Wiggly grocery store and asked. "What'd you fellers ever do with that dead mule?"

They said, "We raffled him off like we said we wuz gonna do."

Leroy said, "Shucks, we sold 500 tickets fer two dollars apiece and made a profit of $898."

The farmer said, "My Lord, didn't anyone complain?"

Curtis said, "Well, the feller who won got upset. So we gave him his two dollars back."

Curtis and Leroy now work for the government.

They're overseeing the Medicare and Social Security Programs.

Who says good old Southern boys ain't too smart?

Funny. But tell us, would you have posted this joke if the current U.S. President were a Republican? :-D 8-)

Lev....Those programs have been busted longer than 8 years.

NO KIDDING?
I know that, buddy, but we have some brain-washed members of the Hog, who use the word, and I do mean word, "Obama", to blame for every single problem with the U.S. Government, regardless of any prior gov't problems when the great W was president. Ya know, "brain-washing" can be a serious affliction. It has affected my ex- since birth. Even now, she doesn't realize that she's benefitting from those Obama-fangled, I mean, passed, bills. Enough politics. I don't want to hijack this Topic, but I would appreciate the OP replying to my question.

SteveR Loc: Michigan

Where did you see Obama in the joke? It's just a joke, Lev.

I didn't. I know it's a joke. But there are a # here with an agenda. Give me credit for the manner in which I originally asked the OP. And don't forget, the last part of his joke is just ripe for some anti-gov't nut to pick on. AND ... You know it.

Peace.

Lev....You should know Mullumby by now. And it's time to add a little "ity" to your name!!

I worked for the government for eighteen years. One thing I learned is that there is no difference between Democrats or Republicans. The are both rotten to the core. All they are interested ins is getting re-elected.

So nice to see friendly potshots taken. See? It doesn't need to get nasty.

I agree. The joke would have been better without the last three lines. Ridiculing Medicare and Social Security is like complaining that your town is wasting taxpayer dollars on a fire department and ambulance service.

Some folks will take any offhand chance to turn a cute joke into a political statement. That's a shame.

That's at least the 3rd time I've seen this one on this site. If you like your mule, you can keep your mule. Now, that was a joke.

Just a good joke and it's Big O fault....
