I spent the bulk of Monday mowing, trimming, raking & weeding.
I know some of you actually enjoy this type of thing but to me it is a chore.
As I was working away I noticed Dave, my neighbour from across the road, washing his car. Now Dave is one of those guys you avoid if you have anything to do - he will talk to anyone, any time, about anything.
After a few minutes of washing Dave started talking to a teenager who lives a couple of houses down the street. Soon the teen had wandered off but now Dave was talking to his mom. As I finished up in the front of the house I noticed Dave talking to the father.
Dave's car was still pretty much unwashed - in fact Dave's wife had come out, hopped in the car & drove away but Dave didn't really seem to notice.
About an hour later I heard a loud bang from down the street, probably fire crackers, but my first thought was " I wonder if the neighbours finally found a way to get rid of Dave & get some work done".

Do you think Dave's wife may have sent him out to wash the car so she could get some work done ?
Sure looks like she knew the right time to take off in the car. Talented lady, eh ?
"in fact Dave's wife had come out, hopped in the car & drove away but Dave didn't really seem to notice."
Now that is FUNNY!
And there might be something to Don's theory too, I think.
