Wife's Request

Ed’s suicide attempts have to harden.
So Ed said to his wife “beg your pardon,
can you give me a cup
to fill up with ‘roundup”.
“Just don’t have your last pee on my garden!”

Hello Jennifer ... I think the wife cared more about her garden, but if Ed is going to drink weedkiller, what could she do - thanks Jennifer - Lindsay

This one gave me a good chuckle. Sometimes my husband will look at whatever I have fixed for him after we have had an argument and ask, "What's in it?" Love this. God Bless, JB

Hello Judy ... thank you for commenting Judy. Not sure if you know what 'roundup' is and if you don't, it's a weed killer - Lindsay
