Once upon a time, an older farmer took a young woman as his bride. On the way home from the courthouse, the mule pulling their cart stopped and sat down. The farmer said, "That's one", got out of the cart and smacked the mule enough that the mule started moving again. A second time, the mule stopped. The farmer said, "That's two", got down from the cart and got the mule moving again. The mule stopped a third time. The farmer said, "That's three", got his shotgun and shot the mule.
The farmer's young bride asked him, "Was it really necessary to shoot the mule?" The farmer said, "That's one."
The couple has a long and peaceful life together.
For some reason this joke came to mind while I was reading this today about the White House's war on Fox News.
