• OT: More sillyness

    From heyjoe@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jan 24 20:35:03 2024
    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.

    Smart wife. With her limited resources, she went for the Achilles
    tendon. You're lucky you were wearing pants.
