Arabian nights
Actual email exchange between my wife and me (we used email, because we were in different rooms)
My wife:Â
I want to go see this!

It is a dinner show, and Kathleen said it was VERY nicely done.
PLUS – you get unlimited house wine and beer with dinner.
We COULD go tomorrow night – go see the horseys. If you want, I will call them in the morning! What do you think?
Me:
Let’s go! (you drive back?)
She:
**smack** Did you even READ past the ” unlimited house wine and beer with dinner“??
Me:
There was more?

You two piss me off. I’ve been out with friends all evening at a “no drinking dinner” (Paul – let me explain this concept to you, I know it’s novel for you – NOBODY DRINKS ALCOHOL). OK, got that straightened out.
Anyway, I come home, grab a cold beer, fire up the laptop, read your blog first (as ALWAYS, of course) and snort out a completely fine mouthful of ice cold beer while reading this post.
Shameful. Please, in the future, warn me when you are posting something funny, or posting anything with your wife involved!
Best wishes (going to change my shirt).

“no drinking dinnerâ€
Despite your lucid explanation, I still don’t get it!
I mean … WHAT’S THE POINT?
Heck, I even forbid my wife to buy alcohol-free mouthwash!
(Well ‘forbid’: this is from the last time when she thought I tried to ‘forbid’ something … *lifts shirt and shows scars*)
Just like my blog-buddy Rob (see link), I received some fan-email:
Dear Jack (can I call you Jack?),
This has to do with the fact that our respective rooms are separated from eachother by a refrigerator.
For some unknow reason, every time I’m on my way to my wife’s room, I get strangely distracted by this fascinating appliance.
We once tried yelling, but that dramatically upset the cats.
So, experience has taught me that email or IM exchanges are MUCH more efficient and effective.
“blog-buddy” ??
New word! Bluddy!
Bluddy Rob…
(Bluddy Bob would of course be even better ..)
I totally understand, Creed and I IM each other and if I leaned back I could (and often do) smack him.
@Tink… You DO read my blog! Welcome!
But I think you really should cut down on that physical abuse of poor defenseless innocent Creed.
That POOR POOR man.
@Paul – you *MUST* add a plug-in to add an email update or RSS feed for comment threads. I would love to have known this one kept going so long after I last visited the post — funny stuff!
