You Might As Well...​

When our lawn mower broke down 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 shed, the boat, making beer... 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 minute, and when I came out again, I handed her a toothbrush.

I said, 'When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway.'

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

Sorry, but what am I missing? I don’t understand what Briggs and Stratton means.

The names are a company that makes lawnmower engines.

Thanks for explaining that. I’ve never heard of them.

You may not have heard of them, but you certainly would have heard them, noisiest motor ever.

 

[John Lalor]

Thanks for explaining that. I’ve never heard of them.

If you haven’t heard of Briggs and Stratton you must have been using scissors to cut your lawn
