Being to clever
SWMBO always issues veiled threats about being given useful items for her birthday like kitchen utensils and vacuum cleaners. She believes these useful tools are household items and not gifts. Somehow this doesn't translate the other way and I get given tools for my birthday.
So it is her 60th birthday Thursday and I purchased a very nice food processor no expense spared as a bit of a joke. Yes ladies I also got a very nice gold and diamond item I don't have a total death wish.
Anyway food processors are heavier than I thought and this one must have exceeded the weight limit imposed on my neck by recent surgery and carrying it from the store to parking lot has done some damage. I am now in pain having woken up this morning virtually unable to move my head. Teach me to try and be cleaver

If you managed to do all that damage by yourself - just think how many more injuries you'll have when your wife throws it at you with extra force

My dad bought my mother a wheelbarrow for her birthday one year and had "Maggie's Birthday Barrow" stencilled on the side.
She was unimpressed to say the least and they divorced not long after. She used the barrow though everyday
Hope you managed to duck the food processor and give the gold before suffering another injury

I wouldn't mind getting a food processor. I left my English one behind and still haven't replaced it.
