The HOA

 

I told my wife

I'm going down to the mail box

if I'm not back in 20 minutes

call an Ambulance

she replied

if you fall and can't get up

make sure you fall

on the sidewalk

and not the street

you know how the HOA

feels about littering.

 

 

*For those of you in Brazil, HOA = Homeowner's Association
