Honey, move those 80 lb retainer wall blocks because , you hunk of a man, I know you can. Honey, please unload the twenty 50 lb bags of soil I loaded into the car at the store because I know you can. Come with me Honey and load my zillion buckets of wood mulch into the car I have thoughtfully shoveled for you (and bring them where I want them when we get home). Honey, please pick my old afflicted heavy butt off the ground because I've fallen again and I can't get up. I crack the whip and there is nowhere to hide. That's a downside...and maybe also that he's been saddled with me for 42 years.
