The power mower was broken and wouldn't run.
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. He said, "When you
finish cutting the grass you might as well sweep the sidewalks."
The doctor says he will probably walk again, but he will always limp.
