    Be careful sending your wife to the hardare store

    Charlie was fixing a door and found that he needed a new hinge, so he
    sent his wife Mary to the local hardware store.. At the hardware store, Mary saw a beautiful
    teapot on a top shelf while she was waiting for Walt, the manager, to finish waiting on a customer. When Walt was finished, Mary asked "How much for the teapot?"

    Walt replied, "That's silver and it costs $300."

    My goodness that sure is a lot of money!" Mary exclaimed.

    Then she proceeded to describe the hinge that Charlie had sent her to
    buy, and Walt went to the back room to find it. From the back room Walt
    yelled, "Mary, you wanna screw for that hinge?"

    Mary replied, "No, but I will for the teapot."

    This is why you can't send your wife to a hardware store
    Every tool you own is broken, you just don't know it yet :-)

        Huh. The town I grew up in the hardware store was owned by Walt. He didn't sell teapots though.

        The chief cause of failure in this life is giving up what you want most for what you want at the moment.

            Are you sure?? Maybe you didn't have the right hardware
