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 .
