A couple had been married 15 years. One afternoon, they were working in the garden together. As the wife bent over pulling the weeds, the husband says, "Honey, you're getting fat. Your butt is big as the gas grill."

The husband picks up a yardstick, to prove his point. First he measures the grill, then he measures his wife's butt. "Yeah", he says, "just about the same size."

That evening they went to bed. The husband cuddled up to his wife saying, "How about a little lovemaking?" The wife turned over, back to him, giving him the cold shoulder.

"What's the matter?" he asked.
