E-RFD: The Broken 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 - 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.
 
 

Note: E-RFDs are messages that circulate around the internet.  Some are factual and some are mythical.  We make no distinction between the types, here, but rather offer them pretty much as they come in -- as examples of comment and rumor from a global mind.
