Neighborhood Problem

Wife: We’ve got to do something about the neighbor’s dog!

Husband: Why? Has he been into your flower garden again?

Wife: The flower garden, the garbage can, and yesterday he started digging holes in the yard!

Husband: Did you talk to Mrs. Gorham about it?

Wife: You know how she is. All sweetness and light to your face but then she never does anything. They should either keep that animal in the house or tied up!

Husband: I’ll talk to Hank about it tonight. He usually listens.

Wife: We need more than listening, dear. We need action!
