Just when I thought there were only two goof balls in this group! I know there must be more than three!
I saw my neighbor bending down trying to pull weeds in her yard yesterday. I had a stand-up weed puller in my garage that I never really used, mainly because I don't have any weeds except the ones that pop up from her neglect. I took it over to her and said " I have a gift for you" , she stood up and I explained to her how the gizmo worked, she was really amazed and glad she didn't have to bend down anymore. She asked how I was doing and I told her about the botched gall bladder operation I recently had where they accidentally cut out half of my stomach. She gasped, "oh no" and asked if I was able to file a lawsuit. "I wanted to but I just didn't have the guts", I replied. The burst of her laughter was indeed a respite from her chore.
