Classic from the Mrs!
Discussion
She's something else.After reading this thread for months and feeling smug that mine is smart and never does this kinda thing she came out with a classic last night.
I was mentioning how weird it is that in our local shop, exactly the same beer in a 500ml glass bottle was 10% cheaper than in a can. She then commented, that maybe it's because the bottles are returnable, which I said they weren't and anyway we always just chuck them in the trash with everything else (no recycling out here yet really).
Anyway, she then continues and said maybe the brewery sends people to collect the bottles, and we live in a high rise, so all our trash goes down a chute into a central trash room. So I clarify, you think that the brewery may pay people to go through the trash of every building trying to find unbroken glass bottles that everyone throws away?!
She goes quiet, then says 'Well at least you can finally post on that thread'!!!

So we are watching "New Tricks" on telly, they are in Gibraltar, OH says :-
"Wasn't the Argentina war over Gibraltar"
"No" I said, then she said
"Oh, I meant Malta"
I told her her it was the Falklands, then she admitted geography wasn't her best subject, no s
t Sherlock I thought.
But she is a good cook, bless.

Love it!One classic from the Mrs which we never let her forget:
We were all in a little pub in Wales. Chap at the bar has this lovely big white fluffy canine at his feet. We all got into a discussion about what breed of mutt it might be. Eventually wife gets up and walks over to chap and asks him "Hello. We've all been admiring that lovely creature at your feet but none of us can agree on what it is exactly".
Bloke stares at her, looks down at the animal, back at wife and then announces so that the entire pub can hear:
"It's a DOG!"

This morning she was off to a meeting earlier than normal. I'm doing the school run.
Just loading the kids and she come hooning up the road and onto our drive.
"I forgot my phone"
"yes, I saw it on the worksurface"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL TO TELL ME?"
"errrr....."
You could have left her a text and she could have picked it up when she got the chance.Just loading the kids and she come hooning up the road and onto our drive.
"I forgot my phone"
"yes, I saw it on the worksurface"
"WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL TO TELL ME?"
"errrr....."

At time of the Falklands war I was working in Dumfries, but was offered a transfer to Lerwick in the Shetland Islands. One of our typists came to me in tears and pleaded with me not to move in case I got shot by the Argentinians."Wasn't the Argentina war over Gibraltar"
"No" I said, then she said

Close, she just missed the "South" part!

Not a classic, I just wanted to vent.
GF: 'When do you want to go out this weekend, Saturday or Sunday?'
Me: 'Erm, Saturday.
GF: 'What's wrong with Sunday?!'
Be careful, that's only a short step away from:GF: 'When do you want to go out this weekend, Saturday or Sunday?'
Me: 'Erm, Saturday.
GF: 'What's wrong with Sunday?!'
- Which dress do you prefer?
- The red one.
- What's wrong with blue one? Does it make me look fat, etc...
