Humor/Jokes

[bigheadfred]

My wife is fed up of my constant Dad jokes, so I asked her, "How can I stop my addiction?"

Wife: “Whatever means necessary.”

Me: “No it doesn’t.”

[bigheadfred]

Picked up a hitchhiker last night. He asked, "How do you know I'm not a serial killer?"

I replied, "The chances of two serial killers in one car is astronomical."

That was one of the first times I just knuckled under.  I already know better than to argue over inconsequential things.

 

It didn't take very long for me to figure out that it's better to just bite my tongue, since this year we will be married 48 years I would say that for me at least that has worked. What's the benefit of proving your right when all you achieve is discord?

I think we as men have lost when it comes to the war of attrition.  I am of the same mindset.  The "Happy Wife...Happy Life" meme rings true because think about it.  We are outmatched.

Example.....  My wife can remember what I wore on our first date. 40+ years ago.  What we ate, and what was said.  Crap, I can't even hardly remember or care about last week.

Hell, last week was an eternity ago in man time I remember when I told my wife I was going to put a ring on her finger, it was the first time we were out and horseback riding with coworkers, I know when I put the engagement ring on her finger...it was Halloween and I still know my anniversary and even the time we were married, and I have never forgotten her birthday...is anything else really important?

Nailed it.  Women are wired by details, men-big pic stuff, no details.

I will always remember when I asked Mrs. Liberty to marry me:  "Wanna get plumb hitched?"  True story!

Don't remember exactly asking, but did pay nearly 30 years for not doing it on one knee.

Hint HInt....  to young batchelors.  Don't make the same mistake.

   Well, my husband of 41 years insists that we met 43 years ago on January 31, 1980. We met at a party on a Saturday night. January 31, 1980 happens to fall on a Thursday, so we would have had to have met the Saturday before. Far be it from me to argue as he's never been wrong ( ) -- so why even throw that out there? Someone very wise once told me to pick the battles that are worth fighting about. 

Forget birthdays or an anniversary? Let's see ... we celebrated my birthday once 3 weeks early one year because he got his dates confused. Act surprised that he remembered? No problem!    So...for awhile I got a calendar to hang on the wall and I wrote the dates on it -- along with his parents bdays, kids bdays, etc., so it didn't seem too obvious.  Now a days I just mention to him a few days beforehand the plans that I've made for our anniversary and my bday.

A great memory!! 

[Smokin Joe]

That is hilarious.  But i recently did an Alanis Morrissette album review that I discussed how men and women are wired beyond the age old "toilet seat up or down" debate......

It took me 6 months of dating my wife to understand that it is understood that when we order our food, that we share with each other, so we can get a variety.  Man did that ever piss me off.  When she finally broke the news of that expectation, I snapped back that if I wanted that, I'd order that, and bug off. 

Well, we all know how those things go.       How many of you have dealt with the same.?

Damn, son, just go to the buffet.

Mrs. Joe and I were married on my birthday. No forgetting our Anniversary, and she was the best Birthday present I ever got.

Alright... I don't remember nothing, and never have. It's only lately that I have become more aware of the importance of these dates to others. None of it matters a whit to me, except 4th of July, which I have often missed - working right through. But by and large, having no weekends and no important days of my own, it makes it hard to fathom in others.

The only one to fix that in me was again, a sweet Georgia peach who, as Southern culture demands, was a bit of a socialite, caring also for elder relatives,and never missed an important day in her life - And whether I cared or not, it would be unseemly to attend alone, and often required hanging onto an arm.

She figured out that I pay attention to my business calendar, never missing, whereupon she conned me into sharing that PIM to her account... and thereafter all those social functions began flooding into my days. Even, with legit authority I suppose, acting like my secretary, moving my crapnaround to shoehorn in an event.

Yeah... she drove me crazy... and she always got her way. Always.
I should have married that one...

@catfish1957

How did THAT work out for you?

[sneakypete]

Nope. No share. MY food. I will tolerate the theft of a french fry or two to prove I love her... No one else could do that much.

That will never change. Heck, even the dog knows better.

@roamer_1

I am definitely NOT an expert of the "wife stuff",or even the "generic woman stuff",but I am GUESSING that she was NOT amused by the "even the dog knows better" comment.

How long did it take you to heal?

I kept getting turned down until I bent the knee.

That's a good woman.  She recognized and accepted your shortcomings, and she a way to work around them.  She saw there was little use in playing the "Let's see if he remembers my birthday" game because she knew you would both lose.  You for not remembering, and her for expecting the impossible.

My wife will simply ask if I've come up with a plan for our anniversary or will throw out ideas about what would be nice for her birthday.  I couldn't ask for a better woman.  She is proof that G-d loves me.

Another example and a good lesson to the young guys.....

If you don't turn this thing into a Hallmark Channel kind of RomCom thing, you just might not have much success.

Yup. She was a veritable man-whisperer... She got her way, openly manipulating me to get it, and making me like it in the process. Absolutely stunning talent.

She did much the same as your wife... When I needed to buy her a gift, she would schedule several shopping lunches - not that I knew I was going shopping - and she was sure to put the things she liked in my hands... She knew dang well my mind was not on shopping, and hardly with her (I hate shopping), and that none of it would register unless I put my hands on it.

It took me years to figure out that part... long after we parted ways. I should have married that woman, I'll tell you what...

I will have know Vergette for 42 years February 27th. I am pretty sure that has been standard practice all that time. And after all these years I would not have it any different.
