Every time Bob's neighbor came over, it was to borrow something
that Bob would likely never see again.
Bob hated saying no, but as he watched his neighbor approach one
Saturday morning, Bob promised himself that this time he would
not give in so easily.
"Er, I wonder if you'd be using your power saw this morning,"
the neighbor began.
"Gee, I'm awfully sorry," said Robinson with a smug look. "As a
matter of fact, I'll be using it off and on all day."
"And your lawn mower?"
"Sorry, the grass needs to be cut today too."
"What about your hedge clippers?" the neighbor asked.
"I have plans for those as well. As you can see," Bob continued,
"I have a list of chores a mile long and I will need all my
tools all day."
"Great!" said the neighbor. I was coming over to borrow your
golf clubs. Isn't it convenient you won't have any time to use
them today?"
