There were two farmers, neither one had much common sense. They were told by their boss to put the mule in the barn.

When they led the mule over to the barn, they decided that the mules ears were to long and he would not fit into the barn. So they put their heads together and decided to get a ladder and a saw and saw the overhead of the barn out so the mule could walk right on in the barn.



They began their job and the boss walked over to them and asked them why they were sawing out the top of the barn. When they told him the mules ears were too long to go into the barn, the boss said:



Why dont you just get a shovel and dig the dirt out of the ground below, then the mule could walk on in



The two half smarts looked at each other and said We told you his ears are too long, not his feet !
