MY WIFE’S RIDE-ON LAWN MOWER IS NOW FOR SALE !

Here’s the story. It’s still hard to believe the way it turned out.

My wife said she wanted a ride-on lawn mower. She works all day and was always tired when she came home from work, and I thought that a ride-on lawn mower would help her get the yard work done quicker so she would have more time for the chores inside.

So, being the handy sort of guy that I am, I made her a ride-on lawn mower. I thought she would squeal with delight or something and give me a big hug. I even put a light on it so she could work at night (see photo below), after she finishes putting away the dinner dishes.

To this day I still can’t understand why some women are so hard to please!!

P.S.

I can see out of my left eye pretty good now and should be able to leave the hospital sometime next week!

It was many years ago since the embarrassing day when a young woman, with a baby in her arms, entered his butcher shop.

She confronted him with the news that the baby was his and asked what was he going to do about it..???

Finally he offered to provide her with free meat until the boy was 16. She agreed.

He had been counting the years off on his calendar, and one day the teenager, who had been collecting the meat each week, came into the shop and said. “I’ll be 16 tomorrow.”

“I know.” Said the Butcher with a smile.

“I’ve been counting too, tell your mother, when you take this parcel of meat home, that it is the last free meat she’ll get and watch the expression on her face.”

When the boy arrived home he told his mother.

The woman nodded and said.

“Son, go back to the Butcher and tell him I have also had free bread, free milk, and free groceries for the last 16 years and watch the expression on his face”.

A Texas farmer went on vacation to Australia.  He met up with an Australian farmer who prouldly showed off his wheat field.

“That’s nothing” said the Texan.  “Back home, we have wheat fields that are twice as large as this.”

Next the Australian pointed out his cattle.

“They’re nothing,” said the Texan.  “Back home, we have longhorns that are twice as big as your cows.”

Just then, half a dozen kangaroos bounded across the road.

“What are those?” asked the Texan.

The Australian replied, “Don’t you have grasshoppers in Texas?”

A man solves the problem of too many visiting relatives. He borrowed money from the rich ones and loaned it to the poor ones. Now none of them come back.

Woman Stops Grizzly Attack with a .25 Calibre Pistol

A story of one woman’s self-control and marksmanship with a little .25 cal. against a fierce predator.

“While out hiking in Alberta, Canada with my husband we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at us from out of nowhere. She must have been protecting her cubs because she was extremely aggressive,” the woman recalled. “If I had not had my little .25 calibre Beretta with me I would not be here today!

“Just one shot to my husband’s knee was all it took. The bear got him and I was able to escape by walking away. It’s one of the best pistols in my collection!”
