Shrub Clippers

Kristie was a little concerned to discover that Steve was on his way to buy clippers for the shrubs at 9:00 at night. It had been previously established that Steve had almost no experience with the task and the prospect of him doing it in darkness probably scared the heck out of her.

’Why are you buying a hedge clipper at 9:00, isn't it dark out there?“

’Sure, but I figure it'll need time to charge.“

’Charge?“

’Yeah, I don't want to have to mess with a cord.“

’You don't need a cord, you just need a bigass machette!“

Now who would you be more afraid of turning loose on your bushes?¹

1. Actually, Kristie's grandparents owned a Christmas tree farm which she worked on; Steve's house was once known as "the one with the scraggly bushes".
