I think my wife is starting to get depressed with all this rain we’re getting. Every day, I see her at the window with a sad look on her face.

If it gets any worse, I might have to let her back inside.

Nick and Austin are keen fishermen and beer drinkers. Last year while they were on a fishing trip in Minnesota, Nick announced, 'I think I'm going to divorce my wife, she hasn't
spoken to me in eighteen months.' Austin downs his beer thoughtfully and after a while
responds, 'Think it over a bit more, Nick; women like that are hard to find.'
