..a wife dies ...
A man was travelling down a country road when he saw a large group of people outside a house.
He stopped and asked a person why the large crowd was there.
A farmer replied:
"Joe's mule kicked his mother-in-law and she died."
"Well," replied the man, "she must have had a lot of friends."
"Nope," said the farmer, "we all just want to buy his mule."
