I had a conversation once with a Vietnam vet who said he grew up in a dirt floored cabin in Alabama. He told a story of a fat uncle who was standing on a ground sled being pulled by the mule he was driving. It seems the fat uncle lost his balance on a bump and fell off the sled. This would be a fall from a flat surface no more than six inches off the ground and moving no more than two miles per hour. He said his uncle "busted open like a ripe watermelon and his guts spilled out". A MULE....LOLOLOLOL

BTW, How does one "drive" a mule? I'd love to know.

How does one "drive" a mule? Now I am laughing my you know what off. One "drives" a mule the same way one "drives" a harness racing horse, with a set of long reins or "lines" as we used to call them in the country. Go up to Lancaster county Pennsylvania and you can still see people "driving" mules everyday. Things were not always done with internal combustion engines, you know.
