A couple had been married 10 years.

One afternoon, they were working in the garden together.

As the wife was bending over pulling weeds, the husband said...

"Hey honey, you're getting fat. Your butt is huge. I'll bet it's as wide as the gas grill."

Feeling the need to prove his point, he got out a yard stick and measured the grill, then his wife's butt.

"Yep," he said, "just what I thought, just about the same size."

The wife became mad and left him gardening alone.

She went inside the house and didn't speak to him for the rest of the day.

When they retired to bed that evening, the husband cuddled up to his wife and said, "How about it, honey? How about a little lovemaking?"

The wife turned her back to him, giving him the cold shoulder.

"What's the matter?" he asked.
