Default Looking after one's wife..
On Saturday afternoon, I was sitting on my deck, drinking beer and
watching my wife mow the lawn.
Camille from next door was so upset at this that she came over and shouted
"You lazy b***** ! Sitting there drinking beer while your poor wife pushes that ancient lawn mower around! Get up off your backside and give her a break!"

I thought "Goodness! ... Women!" and I took a slug from my bottle of
XXXX, wiped the cold foam from my lips, lifted my darkened Raybans,
stared directly at this nosey neighbour, and told her in no
uncertain terms "leave off and mind your own business.
My wife has a green thumb, and she really enjoys gardening".

After a few days I felt really bad so I went out and bought her a
ride-on mower to show my sensitive side.
I am so proud of the deal I got.
I am also proud that my wife can now sit down while mowing the lawn.
Yes fellas, after all one should take good care of the wife...
that way maybe she'll take good care of you.

I have attached a picture.

I hope it comes through OK

Nice mower! My brother used to make things in the shed when he was a teenager...he fixed pram wheels to a decrepit old Garelli moped (no seat, just a post). Of course, once he fired it up, it crippled the wheels and he fell dangerously onto the seat post...still managed to father 3 children

reminds me of the old gardeners saying

"A woman, a dog and a walnut tree
the more you beat them the better thy be."

Don't try it Nog, I was going to quote the 'thicker than thumb' rule, but on trying to find a source (English Common Law) came up with all sorts of sh*t about violence that I'd rather not look at tonight.
Channel 4 (I think) are doing a thing on domestic violence this week.

Heywayne- that's fantastic!!!
How sad am I ?- I even started working out how I could make one, until I realised I probably wouldn't use if it I did!!
Is it Australian then?? ( patent pending no doubt!!)
