OT. Deep doo-doo
SWMBO comes home with a 'glider-style' exercise machine.
It is in the back of the van and she asks me to help her drag it into the house. The machine is all boxed 'flat' and it becomes my job to assemble it. It is a pretty simple job and when it is completed I call her over and ask her: "Do you want me to put it in front of the refrigerator door?" 0¿0 Rob--- who sometimes speaks before he thinks. |

Barry Let's put it this way.... when I put my arm around her last night... the furnace kicked in...brrrrrrrrr It wasn't that cold OUTside... 0¿0 Rob----who has weathered storms before. Last biggie was when I offered my opinion on women's equality (when some of her friends were over). I said something like: "of course I believe in equality, women should be able to pull themselves up to our level, but not drag us down to theirs." I actually saw a couple of them morph from their usually feminine selves to corduroy-wearing, brush-cut, truckerwallet-carrying, comfortable-shoe-wearing, snarling, raging dogs. I then tried to sell the whole thing as a joke...... with minimal success. Oh well... The line: "You can't cut me off, because you don't know where I'm getting it." may not be the best idea at this point. |

He and his SWMBO were going to get themselves in shape. Some weeks later I saw the machine again, only this time it's covered with laundry. And not just a few shirts, it looked like the whole wardrobe. |

The most hilarious one yet starts with a guy engrossed in the newspaper over breakfast. His wife comes out of the bedroom straightening her dress and asks, "does this dress make me look fat?" Guy, concentrating on his paper, says, "you betcha." Wife, gives THE LOOK, and turns sharply back into the bedroom as the guy sort of comes to the realization that he should have paid more attention while the announcer in voiceover says, "in less time than it takes to get out the sleeper sofa..." - - LRod Master Woodbutcher and seasoned termite Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999 http://www.woodbutcher.net |

When I was still dating my wife, she caught me looking at a bikini-clad
girl on a riding lawn mower. When she said "You're not supposed to look at that.", I countered with "Hey babe, just 'cause I'm on a diet, don't mean I can't look at the menu." I'm still lookin', and she ain't complaining. Eat your hearts out.

Mom has one of those big multi-station all-in-one weight things. It's a coat rack, a hat rack, and a drying rack all in one. By the time you get done moving everything off of it to exercise, you've already gotten enough exercise, so it seems kind of pointless. -- Michael McIntyre ---- Silvan Linux fanatic, and certified Geek; registered Linux user #243621 http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Rue/5407/ http://rosegarden.sourceforge.net/tutorial/ |
