The Broken Lawn Mower
Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always
right and the other is usually the husband.
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 truck, the car, e-mail, fishing, always something more mportant 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 few minutes. When I came out again I
handed her a toothbrush.
'When you finish cutting the grass,' I said,
'You might as well sweep the driveway.'
The doctors say I will walk again, but I'll always have
a limp.
