One day he had the idea that if he held back a bit of the mule's feed, he could save money. He tried it for a week, and the mule kept working, so he tried holding back a bit more. The mule kept working. He tried a bit more, but this time, after a couple of days, the mule fell over, dead.<br />"That SOB," said the farmer, "and just when he was getting used to it."<br /><br />Sound familiar?BobGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405172215849046373noreply@blogger.com
