You've all read about p's troubles with his lawn mower and how he gave the excuse that there weren't any for sale, well here is, as they say, "the rest of the story," or what really happened.
When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run,
Mrs. p kept hinting to me that I should get it
fixed.
But, somehow I always had something else to take
care of first, the shed, the boat,
making beer....
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.
