wife: What are you doing?
husband: I'm making the plans for a shed I'm going to build.
wife: Do you think that's such a good idea? I mean after what happened last time...
husband: Are you going to keep bringing that up? That was ONE time. It healed just fine, and I still have four perfectly good fingers on that hand!
