Subject: the mower


The power mower was broken and wouldn't run, and the wife kept hinting to
her husband that he should get it fixed. But, somehow the message never sank
in. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When her husband
arrived home one day, he found her seated in the tall grass,busily snipping away
with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. He watched silently for a short time
and then went into the house. He was gone only a few moments.

When he came out again, he handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish
cutting the grass," he said, "you might as well sweep the sidewalks."

The doctors say he will probably walk again, but he will always limp.
