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! |
