Classic from the Mrs!
Discussion
We're moving house in a couple of weeks…asked the Mrs if I was ok to go out for a pint with a mate tonight. She said 'Yeah go for it. It will give me chance to catch up on my recorded programs on Sky before we move'.
Not quite sure she understands that the hard drive is in the sky box and that the programs will not disappear.
After me laughing she has now asked me 'so it's like a little computer in there?'.
Bless her.
Before the wee one came along she was head of the science department at a rather expensive boarding school.

I'm great at this, I'm terrible with numbers so when I read sizes and weights they don't mean much to me (number dyslexic). In the past I've ordered what i thought was a big tub of ice cream which was actually one of those little theatre sized things and a pie for other half and I to share that was actually a miniature pie of about one mouthful (in my defence it was very expensive!!!)
Now I study the weights very carefully.

I thought sky had some software in the box so that if you didn't maintain your subscription you would eventually lose access to programmes downloaded from Sky. So maybe she is right, or maybe I am too credulous.Bluebarge said:

Thankfully this happened when I was in the car, as she "wouldn't have bothered, would have left it by the side of the road because it was broken"

Get rid of her. Quickly! You know it makes sense.
Colleague ordering staff pizzas on the phone
"...and a half and half, half 5 veggie, half 5 veggie..."
"No, not a whole 5 veggie, half a 5 veggie and half a 5 veggie"
"No, you are not listening. I want a half and half, not a whole"
Chap on the phone finally gives in and reconfirms as half and half. When I went to collect them, the staff at the pizza place were still crying with laughter and chucked in some sides for entertaining them so much.

So if the car had broken down would she have left that at the side of the road?Spiffing said:

Yeah, best thing to do with something you don't want. Dump it for someone else to have to deal with. Classy lady.

Remember someone saying that infront of me in a queue years ago, still look back and think... 
Had one from my wife a few weeks back.
Driving along the motorway an old 1940's fighter bomber flew over head very low with undercarriage down, it had the D-day stripes on and I think it might have been a Hawker Typhoon.
I quite rightly acted like a 12 year old with lots of pointing and getting the windows down.
My wife turns over and says
"Does this mean we are going into Syria then?"
Me: "What do you mean?"
Her: "Well normally when they move fighter planes around it means we are off to war, like that time in Iraq"
Me: "I don't think the war would last very long if we sent 70 year old aircraft"
One of her favourite movies is topgun
