Well, a critter is mentioned

One day when he was out in the field, Jake's wife brought his lunch to him. Then she stayed while he quietly ate and berated him with a constant stream of nagging and complaining. Suddenly, Jake's old mule kicked up his back legs, striking the wife in the head killing her instantly.

At the wake, Jake's minister noticed that when the women offered their sympathy to Jake he 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.

When the wake was over and all the mourners had left, the minister approached Jake and asked, "Why was it that you nodded your head up and down to all the women and shook your head from side to side to all the men?"

Well, Jake 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. The men all asked, 'Is that mule for sale!?'"

For balance..

A woman was leaving a convenience store with her morning cup of coffee when she notice a most unusual funeral procession approaching the nearby cemetery.
A long black hearse was followed by a second one about 50" behind.
Following the 2nd hearse was a solitary woman walking a Pit Bull Terrier on a leash.
Behind her,a short distance back,were about 200 women walking in single file.
Thw woman was so curious that she respectfully approached the woman walking the dog and said,"I am sorry for your loss and I know it is a bad time to disturb you but I have never seen a funeral like this.Whose funeral is it?"
"My Husbands"
"What happened to him:
The woman replied "My dog attacked and killed him"
She enquired further,"Well, who is in the second hearse?"
The woman answered "My Mother-in-Law, she was trying to help my husband when the dog turned on her."
A poignant and thouhtful moment of silence passed between the two women.
Can I borrow the dog."
"Get in line."
