When our lawn mower brokedown, my wife kept hinting to me that I should
get it fixed.
Somehow I always had something else to take care of first - the car,
fishing, 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 came out again
and handed her a toothbrush.
"When you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep
the driveway."
The doctors say I will probably walk again, but I will always have a
limp.
