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 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 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 will always have a limp.
