Mow, Mow, Mow Your Boat

Story Sent in by Sandra:

In retrospect, David came across as lacking a sense of humor (and reality), but I guess I was blind to that at the time. When we went out for coffee, he told me, "Four things: first, if we get married, I won't mow the lawn."

My blank expression must have told him to elaborate, which he did:

"I hate mowing the lawn, I've always hated mowing the lawn, and I will not mow the lawn. Either you'll do it or we find some stupid migrant laborer to do it. And that's final."

I didn't know what the proper response was, so I said nothing, waiting to hear what the remaining three things on his list were. But he said no more.

"Is that it?" I asked him.

"All I can think of," he said, "You're mowing the lawn. I mean it." He sat back, evidently quite pleased with himself.

Only date.

  2. I think the proper response would have been, "That's a pretty big 'if'."

  3. Some people are meant to live in apartments or condos their whole life.

  5. Oh, he'll hire someone to mow that lawn, amirite?

    Anyone that sets ridiculous marriage conditions on a first date is really saying, "I didn't wanna be gay, it's just that no ladies are willing to compromise."
