Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2

[bucks]

On discovering something was broken

"It was working before it broke"
"Eh, things usually are..."
"Ah you know what I mean" *walks away mumbling as I'm giggling away a little too loudly*

[simoid]

Background conversation:

Mrs S: "do you know how many weeks it is til we go away this summer?"
Me, almost instantly: "27"
Mrs S: "how the fk do you know that?"
Me: "well, it's in the second week of July and this is the first week of January"
Mrs S: "bullst, you must've been talking about it earlier. You can't work it out that quickly."

Classic alert:

Me: "well, roughly how many weeks are in a year?"
Mrs: "52"
Me: "so how many are in 6 months?"
Mrs: " I haven't a clue..."

I worked at part time at a coffee shop during my teenage years, and once saw another staff work out 4x4 on a calculator.

So I don't think yours is too bad to be honest, I reckon >50% of the population wouldn't know the answer.

I had followed a slow moving Fiat 500 for a couple of miles on winding single carriageway roads with no chance to overtake then we got to a dual carriageway section. I was just about to pass when the Fiat pulled out into the right hand lane.

I grumbled a bit, something about getting the fk out of my way when Mrs Brrapp came out with:-
'What gives you more right to be in this lane than him? If he wants to be in this lane , he has just as much right as you'

I replied that this was the overtaking lane and that I wanted to overtake, she said :-
'What if he wants to be in front?'

I replied that if he wanted to be in front, he just needed to put his foot down, not block overtakes from others.

She said:-
'So you want him to break the speed limit just so you can go a bit faster? That's a bit selfish.'

Then we approached a roundabout with the Fiat still in front in the right hand lane.

She said :-
'See, he's in that lane because he's turning right.'

Only for the Fiat to swerve into the left lane at the last moment and when we drew along side I saw that the Fiat driver was a young woman who was texting while driving.

I said :-
'Oh that explains it'.

Mrs Brrapp said :-
'You do say some idiotic things sometimes'

I remembered who I was speaking to and didn't answer.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking that.

We have our differences(well she does) but at 28 years so far, I'm not getting rid any time soon.

Just chatting to a girlfriend about the potential snow dumping tomorrow.
Asked her if her car was front or rear wheel drive. (It's a Quashqui, so I suspect front wheel drive)
I don't know, I'll go out and see which the wheels are pointing says she.
I asked her to explain what she meant, turns out she thinks that on a front wheel drive car, the front wheels steer, and on a rear wheel drive car, the rear wheels steer.
Hmmmmm

And I reckon the other 3/4 will have to work it out!

I reckon they've got a 50/40 chance of success!

Womans logic.

We go into ASDA which has two floors, she says -

"I need birthday paper, it's downstairs, so we will go upstairs first"

Now where's my fekking crystal ball............

Yes I was aware of the Vomit Comet before I posted,

1) Not really relevant as it's not true zero G

2) It only last 30 seconds and everything is in freefall including the camera man etc, yes it has been used to shoot very brief scenes but kind of difficult to shoot a whole movie like Gravity using that which is why they did most of that film using wire work and CGI.

Besides my missus wasn't talking about that, she actually thought they'd managed to create zero G on earth but I know how tempting internet point scoring can be on PH, 3 people replying within minutes hoping to prove how clever they are.

Could the real physicists on here confirm that there is no true "Zero G" environment anywhere in the universe. My understanding is that all mass exhibits gravitational effects on all other mass, though of course infinitessimally small for small mass and vast distance.

Correct.

Many people seem to think that when they see astronauts floating about on the ISS it's because there is "no gravity" rather than free-fall.

[callmedave]

Nasa (and many other space boffins) refer to the ISS as a 'Micro Gravity' environment.
