OT: Ah, marriage . . .

[RHPConsult]

A WOMAN'S REVENGE

"Cash, check, or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. "So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.

"No," she replied, "but my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most legal evil thing I could do to him."



WORDS

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day: 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men."

The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"



MARRIAGE SEMINAR

While attending a marriage seminar dealing with communication, Tom and his wife Grace listened to the instructor say, "It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other." He then addressed the men: "Can you describe your wife's favorite flower?"

Tom leaned over, touched his wife's arm gently, and whispered, "It's Pillsbury, isn't it?"

The rest of the story gets rather ugly, so I'll stop right here.

Oh! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Too funny.

I think if I took the remote shopping with me, I'd return home to find Sneakers curled up in a ball having withdrawals.

As I read the first paragraph, I assumed we would learn that she had intended to put her cell phone into her purse, but picked up the remote instead.

True story:
My wife and I were in the family room one evening. I was in the LaZBoy reading and she was on the couch watching TV. I heard her say, "Why won't this thing change channels?" I glanced up and saw that she was punching buttons on the cordless telephone, trying to change TV channels!

( I'm a geezer, married to a geezette! )

Don't know if many of you non-UK folks have seen a sitcom called Only Fools and Horses. Joe's story reminded me of one episode in which main character, a bit of a "dodgy dealer" called Delboy, had acquired a batch of equally dodgy mobile phones. As he demonstrated one to a prospective customer in a pub, we could see the TV behind them changing channels - much to the annoyance of the customers who were trying to watch a football (soccer!) match....

And, Dick, Caroline would confirm that No2 is definitely the case in our house....

"Ah, marriage..."
Tis glorious! My better half is spending the week with me caring for my parents. It's the centerpiece of our summer vacation.

As far as the "second one" it seems that I do more of the talking when we take walks together. And there's plenty of repetition going on in both directions. I tell her she's not listening, or enunciating... depending on who says "Huh?".

My husband used to do that.  

Also, he was famous for changing the channel in the middle of a very dramatic scene, without telling me.  Very frustrating, but how could we live without them?

Husbands or remotes?  

[Xairbusdriver]

So...

Did Lil come back with you?

[RHPConsult]

Absolutely.

You can take the girl out of Ohio, even if you can't (don't want to) take Ohio out of the girl!

Husbands or remotes?  

Well both, I guess - husbands especially!
