Lawn mower problems

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.

McFarkus, Please, Please, PUHLEASE don't make the mistake that I did and let her know that the house needed to be painted at the same time while handing her a Q-tip and some model paint. Not only do I have a limp but I also have a walking staff for exactly why you would think that I would need a walking staff. I really should have stopped with the driveway.

My barbeque gave up the ghost last spring. I dissemble it only to discover the parts were not available for my 15 year old grill. Over the summer and fall my wife and I looked at grills with me bemoaning how expensive they were. This caused my wife no end of grief because she knows when she buys food to grill, I cook.

We order a new grill about ten days ago and it arrived today. We just had lime chicken and it was terrific. The best part is by dragging

my feet on the purchase my wife appreciates having a grill so much she thinks it is her birthday present.
