Oh dear. Was on twitter a few minutes ago and NASA have retweeted the fact that Voyager left Earth 37 years ago today. Mentioned it to the missus and also mentioned that it's internal nuclear generators are due to runout in 2025.

Her response? Does it just fall out the sky when that happens......

I just had to explain that to my mrs.
I still don't think she understands,
"But it might just go up and fly round and round the earth...

Dear god.

Finally I have one.

GF bought some Star Wars lollies in the shape of the very famous Jedi weapon of choice. She's in her forties and very familiar with the original movies.

Her looking at the packet, "Oh, they're Light Sabres."
Me, "Yeah, what did you think they were?"
GF, "Light Savers"
Me, "No, always been Sabres. Like the sword"
GF, "That makes so much more sense"

That is a classic!

Her: What time does the F1 start?
Me: 1
Her: Can't you watch it now so we can go out this afternoon?
Me: ?

Was she perhaps confused by the early season Far East races?

This evening my wife asked me to check over a form she filled in for my son's pre-school.

I spotted that under "religion" she'd written "CV"

Me: What's this?
Her: CV - you know, it stands for "Church of England"
Me:
Her: ...what?

When I had my tonsils out many years ago, the nurse entered 'C.O.V.' under religion on the admission forms...

My daughter is interested in F1 tech. I thought I'd show her how a wind tunnel works on YT. She watched, and then looked a bit disappointed. "I didn't know that's how they do it. I thought they had a really long tunnel they drove down at 200mph".

'er indoors, using her best Bulgarian at the local market, asked for 45 mixed bell pepper seedlings, back in the spring. This is what grew:
45 "Birds Eye Chilli" plants, many times hotter than Jalapeno chilli

I've seen that happen countless times. To begin with I thought it was the customer being stupid, however when it happened lots of times, I think it is down to a error.

Don't tell her that, wind her up .

We've had the opposite, 1 kilo of carrots "ordered", 1 carrot arrived...

You only ordered one horse?

Or perhaps she now has 2 horses, and 2 radishes?

We had five month old grandson round last weekend and he was asleep in his pushchair but the sun was streaming through the window straight in his face. Suggested to SWMBO that she use an umbrella to shade him. So she got a clear plastic one from the rack and positioned it and then told me it wasn't working

I guess it would have been too difficult to move the pushchair out of the direct sunlight?
