The husband, the wife, the rain gutter.

Today, a friend's wife said to him, "Honey, get off your butt and fix that gutter downspout! And, I want it done before the end of the day!"
Well, as you all know, at my age, my friend, and most of our friends, are retired and do have the time to address such "Honey do's"….
​ So, he invited some of us neighborhood buddies over to help with the project.
One is a sheet metal fabricator.
One brought his welder.
One brought beer and Nachos.
One brought a grill and burgers.
Took us about 6 hours, and 30-40 beers, but we got it done just as we finished off the last of the beer and burgers.
As usual, the wife is still not happy!
Can't understand, cause all us guys love it!
Personally, I cannot wait for rain.

One could even get more creative with the downspout. You could also make a female model and have a male at one end and a female at the other. I would stay away from children though.

They were very creative!

Sometimes masculine ingenuity brings out feminine ire.
If she's smart - the less said the better -
you never know what a new project may produce :roll:
