Private Humor

Well I'm not sure about the expression of the horse, as he seems to be hamming it up for the photographer, but the man's countenance is captured very nicely. Of course, I've come to expect that from you. What an interesting find that gentleman appears to be.

This is Joe, a Tennessee mule driver. He came through town this week on a wagon pulled by a team of six. When he stopped to buy about a ton of feed, he was interviewed by a local newspaper reporter. I noticed that for most of the interview he looked at the mules rather than the reporter. He knows who his friends are.

Mules aren't stubborn, he says. They just like to do things their way.

So you try to make them think what you want them to do is their idea.

 

I think that's the tactic most wives use with their husbands.
