The old farmer had a wife that always nagged. Nag nag nag, non stop, everyday.
One day he was out plowing his fields with his mule and his wife came to see him with his lunch, as she always did. As soon as she got there she started nagging. Nag nag nag. She was walking around and got too close to the mule and it jumped up and kicked her in the head. Killed her on the spot.

At the wake, the priest noticed the old farmer talking to a bunch of ladies and he kept shaking his head up and down, up and down, up and down. Then the farmer went over to talk to a bunch of men. there, he just kept shaking his head back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

Once most of the crowd had left the priest approached the farmer and asked him what the ladies were talking about. He said the ladies commented on how well she looked, how nice her hair was, and what a lovely dress she was wearing. The priest then asked about the men.
The farmer said the men were asking if the mule was for sale.
