    Default The broken lawn mower

    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.

    My SWMBO was sick of looking at the long grass and decided she would do some mowing. It was a stinking hot day and I waited for awhile thinking she would soon collapse.
    My conscious got the better of me while watching her push that heavy bloody thing around, so I went and bought her a smaller one.
    Of course I'm brave, I'm afraid of NO man, and only a few women.

    My dad is your average handyman - does an OK job, if he ever did it...

    Mum worked out the best way of motivating him. She picked went to the shed, grabbed a decent size hammer and walked off in the direction of the item to be repaired. Dad always overtook her on the way with the tools to fix whatever it was...
    ...but together with the coffee civility flowed back into him

    You blokes have got more courage than me.

    I won my last fight with the missus by
    50 metres and the slam of a gate.

    I prefer to have my fights with my darling at the pub. Me at the pub, her at home...
