    Gardening again

    Tom and Mary decided to plant a garden. Tom got the soil ready, then gave Mary a pack of seeds to plant, while he got the fertilizer ready. When Tom saw that she was planting them too close together, the conversation began.

    Tom: "Mary, you're planting the seeds too close together."

    Mary: "You told me to plant them 9 inches apart."

    Tom: "That's right. But you've probably used twice the seeds you should have planted."

    Mary: "No, they're about 9 inches apart."

    Tom proceeds to get a tape measure, and he measured between seeds.

    Tom: "See? Those are only 4 inches apart!"

    Mary: "You S.O.B.!"

    Tom: "What are you so upset about?"

    Mary: "You've been telling me for thirty years that was 9 inches!!"

    I saw that one coming. Still funny though.

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