Classic from the Mrs!

[Ari]

It started because we were out walking and she saw a dog and asked me 'Is that a Labradoodle?'

'Ah', I replied, 'That depends...'

[GroundEffect]

Ari said:

I tried to convince mine that a Labradoodle was only called that if the male parent dog was a Labrador and the female the Poodle. And that if the sexes were reversed the result was a Poodor.

Nearly got away with it too, but couldn't keep a straight face.

Actually Ligers and Tigrons are named after that...you could be right.

I ordered a pig roll at a food stand at the bmf rally some years back, the 'tard of a girl looked at me confused and said " actually they are pork rolls " she was serious too !

One of our daughters has a zebra print, security blanket.

Today I washed it, and it came out of the washer still dripping wet, like it hadn't been spun.

I commented to the wife, that I would need to make sure the rinse cycle was working properly.

Her reply, "Maybe zebra pattern things hold more water than plain ones".

Sarcasm?

In fairness to her, things aren't always black and white.

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

You'd be surprised how many just freak and run away from the 'situation'! My mother in law does it. The prop shaft on her freelander came loose and dropped off once, she stopped on a grass verge and just ran away from it. Same with her fiesta recently, the thermostat housing cracked and overheated the car. She just panics and runs off. A problem ignored, is no problem at all according to her!

[simoid]

Bit of a puerile one:

Me and The Mrs in the same room, nobody else around.

I let out a quite deliberate and tremendous bottom trumpet which breaks the silence, and we both have a good chuckle.

After the wee giggle, Mrs feels the need to clarify:

"That wasn't me btw!!!"

Er, yes, I know...

[vikingaero]

Exiting a motorway on the slip and we approach the lights at the roundabout. There's a local taxi in front of me. The plate on it says: "Hackney Carriage Licence...."

Mrs V. says: "Ooh look that taxi's come all the way from Hackney."

FFS.

They all turn into their mothers, you know!

Womans logic............

Says to me "I dont know why we argue so much"

I said "Why"

She says "Well you know I am usually right".....................

Was following a Smart car the other day and the owner had added some lettering such that it read 'Smart Arse'. SWMBO looked bemused: 'why on earth would Smart call one of their models an Arse?'

[lowdrag]

I bought SWMBO some sheepskin slippers a while back, and she wears size 3. Today I bought a pair for a friend's birthday (she'd admired them) and she takes size 6. I explained to SWMBO that they cost twice as much since they were twice the size.

"I didn't think of that" she exclaimed.

Chatting with my Mrs while doing the washing up the other night:

Me: "We really need a dishwasher"
Her: "Yeah, no space though"
Me: "Did you know they were invented in the USSR in 1960 by Dmitry Dishwasherkev? Hence the name."
Her: "Really?! I didn't know that!"

I'll be making regular contributions to this thread.

yup, guilty of that too!

Thing is, I'm actually the font of all (admittedly totally useless) knowledge and often start sentences with 'Don't you know...' when watching telly and then come up with a piece of trivia that is true. So It's very easy to slip the odd howler in every now and again.

I even got away with the Haggis being a small rodent with legs different lengths for a bit until I couldn't keep a straight face. She's Indian so didn't have a scooby about indigenous Scottish fauna.
