The young man stopped the buggie, walked around in front of the buggie and held up one finger and said very distinctly "That is One!"

then he got back in the buggie and drove on.

some time later the mule acted up again. Again the young man stopped the buggey and walked around in front of the mule.

Holding up 2 fingers, the young man stated "That is two".

when they turned into the drive of their new home, the mule acted up once more. The young man stopped, walked around in front of the mule and said " that is three!" then he shot the mule dead in its tracks.

As he was unhooking the dead mule from the buggie, his lovely young bride said "now why did you go and do that?!?!?!?"

To which the young man stood up, looked her in the eyes and said "that is one!"

I know it is long. but it is a good read.
