Two city slickers try farming

[PreacherBen]

Two city slickers decided they were tired of the city life and moved to the country to try farming. They went to town to price tractors and found them VERY costly. Two shrewd country fellows over-heard the slickers and asked them, "Have you considered mules?" The slickers replied, "No, we didn't." The country boys offered to sell them two mule eggs. "Mules eggs?" asked the slickers, "Yes, they are much cheaper, and you can raise them yourself and they'll obey you better." "Hey! That makes sense!" So the country boys sold them two mule eggs (two water melons painted black) for $50.00.

The slickers gently placed the "mule eggs" in the back of their truck and headed for the farm. "Boy, we sure got a good deal on those mule eggs didn't we?" the one slicker asked the other. "We sure did!" and they happily made their way down the road neglecting to see a huge pot hole in the road. WHAM! They hit the hole and the driver looked back to see one of the "mule eggs" go flying out of the truck. They slammed the brakes on just as the egg hit a rock. When it did a jack rabbit took off from behind the rock. One of the slickers yelled, "There goes one of our mules, he's getting away!" So the faster of the two took off after him. Thirty minutes later he came back winded and with no mule. The slicker that stayed behind asked, "So, he got away huh?" The other replied panting, "Yeh, he got away (pant, pant) but that's o.k., I couldn't have plowed that fast anyways."
