A farmer was plowing his field on a hot, humid August day. His old mule began sweating, then staggering. At the end of the row, she dies by the road. The farmer was beside himself. 10 acres left to plow and no mule.
Along comes an old, beat-up pickup truck. It stops, a ragged-looking grifter jumps out and surveys the situation. "How much for the mule?" he says.
The farmer says "That mule's dead. What do you want with a dead mule?"
The grifter says "You never mind about that. How about $20 and help me load the up the mule?"
The farmer thinks it over. $20 would be big step towards a new mule. "OK" he says. They load up the mule, the money changes hands and the grifter drives off with 4 legs sticking out of his truck bed.
A month passes. The farmer has a new mule and has it out cultivating the new crop. As he nears the road, a new pickup drives up and stops at the end of the row. The driver gets out - it's the grifter that bought the dead mule, except now in fancy new clothes.
The farmer says “Looks like you're doing all right for yourself. What happened to that mule I sold you?”
Grifter: “I raffled him off. 1000 tickets at a dollar a pop.”
Farmer: “You can’t raffle off a dead mule! Wouldn't someone get awful mad?”
Grifter: “He sure was until I gave him his money back.”

Yesterday I received a bunch of unnamed (which have remained unnamed) cartoons directed at us older folks - that would be just about everyone owning a BMW motorcycle. And here they are.

Paula loved her cat more than anything so, one day, she was horrified to see the cat hadn't moved for over three hours. It just sit there staring at nothing. Not an ear flicked nor did the tail twitch. Picking up the cat and pointing it in a different direction also changed nothing. The cat just continued to stare straight ahead without moving. Picking up the cat, Paula took it to her Veterinarian and asked him what could be causing such a strange behavior. The vet checked out all of the vital signs, its eyes, ears and mouth. Nothing seemed wrong but just like when it had been at home, the cat continued to stare straight ahead at nothing. The Vet asked Paula, "Did you feed him anything different or give him anything different to drink?" Paula said, "Why, yes. Right before this happened, I gave him some seltzer water. I thought it would be good for him and make him happy." "Ah ha!" the Vet said. "Didn't you know? You should never give a catatonic?"

That's BS. Being in the electrical industry, I know that once the smoke escapes from electrical equipment, there's no way it can be put back in to make it work again.
