We went to the church tonight to bring in some supplies and start to get ready for an event on Saturday night. My wife had bought a package of bamboo skewers, you know the ones, about 3mm in diameter. they were about 10" long and she wanted them cut down to about 6". So I said, "OK, I'll bring my razor saw tomorrow." (She didnt want me to break them.)
So she says, "Surely you can use a sharp knife from here."
I know from bitter experience that there is no sense in arguing, so I go to the knife drawer, and select a bread knife with fine teeth. Then I grab the bunch of skewers in my hand, and proceed to saw. And saw, and saw, and saw. After about five minutes, I had successfuly shortened about eight of the darned things. So I say, "This is going to take all night."
She says, "Oh, well, we're going to be here for another half hour or so."
I let go of the bunch of skewers, put the bread knife back in the drawer, and told her I'll come back tomorrow with my razor saw and do the job in a minute.
So now she's mad at me...
Some people just don't understand how to get things done...
