The homeowner got into his old work clothes one Saturday morning and set about all the chores his wife had been urging him to do all week.

He cleaned the garage, pruned the hedge, and was halfway through mowing the lawn when a woman pulled up in the driveway and called out her window, "Say, what do you get for yard work?"

The fellow thought for a moment and then answered, "The lady who lives here lets me live with her."
