Well, if you’re preoccupied with songs about mules, you might as well have the stage banter to go with them:<\/p>\n
The Dead Mule
\nA city boy, Kenny, moved to the country and bought a mule from an old farmer
\nfor $100. The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day.<\/p>\n
The next day the farmer drove up and said, “Sorry son, but I have some bad
\nnews, the mule died.”<\/p>\n
Kenny replied, “Well then, just give me my money back.”<\/p>\n
The farmer said, “Can’t do that. I went and spent it already.”<\/p>\n
Kenny said, “OK then, at least give me the mule.”<\/p>\n
The farmer asked, “What ya gonna do with him?”<\/p>\n
Kenny, “I’m going to raffle him off.”<\/p>\n
Kenny, “Sure I can. Watch me. I just won’t tell anybody he is dead.”<\/p>\n
A month later the farmer met up with Kenny and asked, “What happened with
\nthat dead mule?”<\/p>\n
Kenny, “I raffled him off. I sold 500 tickets at 2 dollars a piece and made
\na profit of $898.”<\/p>\n
Farmer, “Didn’t anyone complain?”<\/p>\n
Kenny, “Just the guy who won. So I gave him his 2 dollars back.”<\/p>\n
