Jack was about to marry Jill and his father took him to one side 'When I married your mother, the first thing I did when we got home was take off my trousers,' he said. 'I gave them to your mother and told her to put them on . When she did, they were enormous on her and she said to me that she couldn't possibly wear them, as they were too large. 'I told her, 'of course they're too big. I wear the trousers in this family and I always will. 'Ever since that day, we have never had a single problem.'
Jack took his father's advice and as soon as he got Jill alone after the wedding, he did the same thing; took off his trousers, gave them to Jill and told her to put them on. Jill said that the trousers were too big and she couldn't possibly wear them. 'Exactly,' replied Jack.'I wear the trousers in this relationship and I always will. I don't want you to forget that.' Jill paused and removed her knickers and gave them to Jack. 'Try these on,' she said, so he tried them on but they were too small. 'I can't possibly get into your knickers,' said Jack. 'Exactly,' replied Jill. 'And if you don't change your f *** ing attitude, you never will.

I'd tried growing gourds before but by the end of the season they really hadn't made much of an effort. A few flowers maybe, a couple of promising little bulges, but nothing to realise my plans of carving and painting my own birdhouses. It occurred to me that it probably needed a longer growing season, coming from hotter climes, and that as I didn't have a greenhouse to start one from seed early enough, I should, as soon I could, obtain a ready-to-go plant early in the spring. I decided to tr... Continue reading...
