snowyday Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Down in South Alabama a woman passing a neighbor’s house, and beholding the lord and master of the establishment dozing peacefully on the shady veranda, leaned over the garden fence, and to the man’s longsuffering better half observed: “Well, I see your old man is still taking things easy.†The woman in the garden straightened up from her hoeing, absently massaged her aching back, and replied. “Yes Sarah, he is.†A wispy ghost of a smile flitted over her tired face. “You know,†she added, “that man has just two regrets in life. One is that he has to wake up to eat, and the other that he has to quit eating to sleep.†* * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
