But, somehow I always had something else to take<br \/>\ncare of first, the shed, the boat, making beer. It was always something more<br \/>\nimportant to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.<br \/>\nWhen I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily<br \/>\nsnipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for<br \/>\na short time and then went into the house.. I was gone only a minute and<br \/>\nwhen I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said,<br \/>\n&#8220;When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.<br \/>\n_______________________________<\/p>\n<p>My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.

I hooked up the boat up to the van and<br \/>\nproceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing<br \/>\n50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio and then<br \/>\nI discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the<br \/>\nhouse, quietly undressed and slipped back into bed.. I cuddled up to my<br \/>\nwife&#8217;s back, now with a different anticipation and whispered,<br \/>\n&#8220;The weather out there is terrible.&#8221;<br \/>\nMy loving wife of 5 years replied, &#8220;And, can you believe my stupid husband<br \/>\nis out fishing in that?&#8221;<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s how the fight started&#8230;<br \/>\n________________________________<\/p>\n<p>My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.<br \/>\nShe said, &#8220;I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 150 in about 3 seconds .&#8221;<br \/>\nI bought her a bathroom scale.<br \/>\nAnd then the fight started&#8230;&#8230;<br \/>\n_______________________________<\/p>\n<p>After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security.<br \/>\nThe woman behind the counter asked me for my driver&#8217;s License to verify my<br \/>\nage. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the<br \/>\nwoman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.<br \/>\nThe woman said, &#8216;Unbutton your shirt&#8217;. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly<br \/>\nsilver hair. She said, &#8216;That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me&#8217; and<br \/>\nshe processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told<br \/>\nmy wife about my experience at the Social Security office&#8230; She said,<br \/>\n&#8216;You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability, too.&#8217;<br \/>\nAnd then the fight started&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One year, I decided to buy my mother-in-law a cemetery plot as a Christmas gift&#8230; The next year, I didn&#8217;t buy her a gift.
