Six months ago my friend, who is impatient and quick-tempered, told me he was going to teach his wife how to shoot a pistol. He said he wanted her to be able to defend herself if the need were to arise.
I told him not to do it.
Three months ago he told me he was going to show his wife how to use a chainsaw. He said this was so she could help him prune their many trees on their property and would reduce the burden on him.
I told him not to do it.
Last month he told me he was going to show his wife how to operate a backhoe. That was so she could dig the trenches they needed to install new water lines on their ranch while he would do the manual work of using a shovel.
I told him not to do it.
What’s that you say?
You want to know how my friend is doing?
Now that you mention it, I haven’t talked to him since his wife put in that beautiful, new flower bed.
I told him not to do it.
