"Fix the Lawn Mower"

[black roses19]

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that
I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take
care of first, the truck, the car, fishing, always something more important
to me.

Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point. When I arrived home
one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a
tiny pair of sewing scissors.

I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone
only a few minutes. When I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. "When
you finish cutting the grass," I said, "you might as well sweep the
sidewalk."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

Marriage is a relationship in which one person is always right, and the
other is a husband.

[Ryda Wong, EBfCo.]

Sigh. People who like these kind of "jokes" should really reconsider why they married, and see if, perhaps, a life of celibacy might suit them better.


I've never understood why you would consider chaining your life to someone else if you treat them like crap? Really. Isn't that masochistic? And, if it is, isn't it eaiser to just find a nice dom who enjoys his/her work?

Take out the part at the end about marriage being between a person who is right and a husband and it's a mildly funny bit of absurdity. Something I could see coming from the pen of Dave Berry, perhaps.

[Fiver]

It kind of reminds me of this. Just in the punchline area, really.

[Ryda Wong, EBfCo.]

That's pretty disgusting, Fiver.

Um excuse me but did you just steal that from my myspace bulletin? I really just posted this today...I clean out my email every so often & post things like this...called jokes.

Indeed - It seems both husband *and* wife are nasty snots in this story.

And people have the gall to ask some of us why we're not married yet...

Perhaps we should print a book full of all this stuff and hand them out to everyone who asks.

So you think this is funny? Bummer.

[Squishy0405]

The point is I don't understand why people are looking into it *way* to deep in my opinion. I don't particulary think it's ha ha funny & I don't something like this would ever make me re-evaluate my marriage. Some people like jokes that I don't...they will repost them if they like em'

That's the point. I don't think that it's funny or cute, I was just pointing out the similarity.

Heh. You should read some of their other stuff. Gabe and Tycho make fun of everything at one point or another. The guys who do the comic are some of the coolest, nicest guys you'll meet. They just hold nothing sacred. Ever.

This is one of my favorites.

[rhiandmoi]

Sigh. More evidence that I am in fact a bad person.

[Fiver]

This one is also pretty bad, but it's older.

This one's par for the course

Kind of makes fun of Vietnam veterans

One of their funniest

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway that these are all NFBSK.

[One-Fang]

Why would it go without saying? Having never heard of the strip before, and seeing nothing obvious in the thread, I wouldn't have assumed NFBSK.

[Fiver]

I thought that it was given that it would be NFBSK because I was trying to give examples of some of the offensive comic strips that are in a certain webcomic. Sorry if it wasn't.

Well of course they're going to ask why people our age aren't married yet. After all, how are you going to get started on having your twelve kids and become the ideal housewife if you're not married? Quit wasting your time with college or at least use it for its intended purpose, which is to find a husband.


Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I actually had it emailed to me, but after checking my Myspace bulletins, it appears that you did also post it.

Hmmph. Coincidence?
