A couple had been married 15 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 getting huge. I bet it's as big as the gas grill now.''

The husband, feeling he needed to prove his point, got a yardstick, measured the grill, and then measured his wife's butt. ''Yes,'' he said, ''just what I thought, just about the same size.'' The wife got very incensed and decided to let him do the gardening alone. She went inside and didn't speak to her husband the rest of the day.

That evening, when they went to bed, the husband cuddled up to his wife, and said, ''How about it, honey? How about a little action?'' the wife rolled over and turned her back to him, giving him the cold shoulder.

''What's the matter?'' he asked

To which she replied, ''You don't think I'm going to fire up this big gas grill for one little weenie, do you?''
