Daily Joke: Husband Asks Wife Where Their Garden Rake Is
A man was busy doing some work in the yard on a Sunday morning, making himself useful on holiday. He was sweating and had dirt all over his shirt and hands, but he kept working diligently.
After a while, he realized he had forgotten the rake, so he started looking for it. He searched everywhere but could not find it. Then he remembered that his wife used it last, so he decided to ask her where she had put it.

His wife was in the shower at that moment, so he had to literally shout at the top of his lungs to be heard.
"Sweetheart. Do you remember where you put the rake? I have searched everywhere, but I can't seem to find it," shouted the man.
The woman saw her husband screaming from across the yard but could not hear him in the running water. So she shouted back from the shower, "Honey, what are you saying?"
The man repeated his question one more time, saying each word slowly and loudly. To his utter dismay, his wife still could not understand what he said. He then thought of another idea to get his message across.
With a hand gesture, he called out his wife's attention and then pointed to his eye. After that, he bent down and touched his knee and finally made a raking motion. His wife still failed to decipher his message, so he repeated his gestures.

After repeating the same action thrice, she signaled back that she had understood what he was trying to say. Soon afterward, she pointed to her eye, then to her left bosom, and finally to her butt and groin.
The man dropped all his garden tools and was dumbfounded by his wife's non-verbal response. There was no way he could fathom such a complex message, so he ran from the garden to the house and ran upstairs.
By the time he reached his wife, he was exasperated from the run and her sign language.
"What exactly were you trying to say?" asked the man, shocked and confused.
"EYE LEFT IT BEHIND THE BUSH!" replied the wife loudly.
Indeed, some couples don't need words to understand each other!
