We laughed when Chris got the shaft

Chris, the buff handyman at Mom's Kell Avenue residence, is stronger than a wheelbarrow handle. We know this because he was hauling a heavy load over the back yard recently when the wheelbarrow shaft snapped under the weight. Now Chris has a one-armed wheelbarrow and a handy club.
Chris's entire performance was witnessed by the full complement of Kell Avenue residents and the audience gave him an appreciative round of applause. . . and a few remarks.
