A couple's 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 monments. When he returned, he handed her a toothbrush. "When you finish cutting the grass," He said, " You might as well sweep the sidewalks."

The doctors says he will probably walk again but will always limp.
