Because we've had some pretty windy weather here this week, I was in my back yard this afternoon trying to fly a kite I had made from two sticks, an old newspaper, glue, tape, and string.

I threw the kite up in the air, the wind would catch it for a few seconds, then it would come crashing back down to earth. I tried this a few more times with no success.

All the while, my wife was watching from the kitchen window, muttering to herself how men need to be told how to do everything.

She opened the window and yelled to me, "Honey...you need a piece of tail."

I turned towards her with a confused look on my face and yelled back, "Well make up your mind. Last night you told me to go fly a damn kite."
