When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer. Always something more important to me. Finally she

thought of a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house.

I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again

I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp. :blink:

Forgive the all-caps, plea man:

THE MARRIED COUPLE HAD QUARRELED, AND NOW THEY SAT QUIETLY, NOT SPEAKING. THE HUSBAND, TRYING TO SMOOTH MATTERS OVER, LOOKED UP FROM HIS PAPER TO REMARK, "I SEE HERE THAT THEY HAVE MORE PROOF THAT WE ALL SPRANG FROM MONKEYS."

"WELL, DON'T BE SO PROUD ABOUT IT," RETORTED THE WIFE. "YOU CERTAINLY DIDN'T SPRING VERY FAR."
