Broken Lawn Mower

Broken Lawn Mower

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, playing golf, the house, 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.

Moral to this story:
Marriage is a relationship, in which one person is always right, and the other is the husband.

I decided that since the grass was getting cut and driveway swept, I now had time to play a short game of golf. I came home after hitting par on 9 holes to find the grass cut, and driveway swept.

Moral of the story:
Put things off long enough, your spouse will take care of it for you, leaving you more time to do the things you want to.
