Saturday afternoon, I was sitting on my deck, drinking beer and watching my wife mow the lawn.  Camile from next door was so upset at this that she came over and shouted  "You lazy b@stard !  Sitting there drinking beer while your poor wife pushes that ancient lawn mower around!  Get up off your butt, and give her a break!"

I thought  "Gawd! Women!"  and I took a slug from my bottle of Stella wiped the cold foam from my lips, stared directly at this nosey neighbour, and told her in no uncertain terms  "To mind her own bloody 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.  I have attached a picture.
