Why Not?

It goes without saying, that my neighbors think I am a little bit crazy.  When one asked me about what to do to kill weeds, I calmly suggested they use diesel in a pump up sprayer.  “That will kill everything,” they said.  “Exactly,” was my reply.  “Do you want to kill weeds or not?”

Almost every weekend, I cook out on my charcoal grill.  I have a wood chip smoker box that gives the food a wonderful flavor - if you use pecan wood chips.  Another neighbor usually is out on their patio when I am cooking and will yell over the fence when the smoke starts to roll over the fence.  They always want to know “What’s for dinner?”  

This week, I got the grill really smoking and ran over to the gate on our privacy fence.  I jerked the gate open and frantically looked about for something.  The neighbors look at me as if to ask, “What are you doing?”  Then, I shouted, “Did you see a squirrel run this way?”

They replied, “No.”  “If you see him, run him back this way,” I said and went back inside the gate.

Why do I do things like this to my neighbors?

Why Not?
