I Just Can't Seem To Get A Break - 3


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.

 
My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, “What’s on TV?”
I said, “Dust.”

And then the fight started…



Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made 
my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked 
the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a 
torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so 
I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and 
discovered that the weather would be bad all day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped 
back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a 
different anticipation, and whispered, “The weather out 
there is terrible.” My loving wife of 5 years replied, “And, 
can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?”

And that’s how the fight started…


Thanks Dan !

  2. At least she cut the grass - different people - different methods. To avoid an argument, the husband should have opened a beer and turned on ESPN, and just stayed inside while she cut the grass.

  8. Most of it melted before I can out of the house. Summer was cotton-picking time in Mississippi and honestly, it was open season on those left to meet the Ice Man.

Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.
