20070326 If Men Vacuumed

If men vacuumed…

March 26th, 2007

We’ve all seen both of these (i.e. the photo and the silly story below) … several times. They’ve circulated the cyber-globe several times. However, I’m just so happy that spring might actually come after all that I had to post them.

My wife and I actually had an opportunity to work outside some yesterday.

The hat tip for the piece below belongs to Analog. I’ve seen it before… It was worth repeating… Although I can’t necessary relate – it is funny.

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.

Although I did do some housework yesterday, I did not get around to doing any vacuuming. The lawn mower won't start. But you can be sure I'll look into getting it fixed right away.
