A retired guy sits around the house all day, so one day his wife says,âEd, you could do something useful, like vacuum the house once a week."
Ed gives it a momentâs thought and says: âSure! Why not.Whereâs the vacuum ?" Half an hour later, Ed comes into the kitchen to get some coffee.
His wife says, âI didn't hear the vacuum running: I thought you were going to do the vacuuming ?â Exasperated, Ed answers, âThe stupid thing is broken: it won't start. We need to buy a new one.â
Really ?â she says, âshow me -- it worked fine the last time.â So he shows her.
