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?”
