Mrs: That's the B's and E's.

Me: You what?

Mrs: The B's and E's - you know, really good.

Me: ...

Me: The bee's knees.

Mrs: Eh?

Me: The bee's knees. For the pollen and the collecting and the flowers. The bee's knees are really good.

Mrs: Not the B's and E's then?

Wouldn't change her for the world mind.
That reminds me of one of the wife’s, “Jesus wet!” I’m going to ask her one day why is he wet.
I had a girlfriend who one early morning pronounced we should get ‘up and Adam’
Me: what?
Her: up and Adam
Me: had to explain its up and at ‘em

My wife is out in the kitchen cooking supper, and I go out there to chat with her about something. I look out into the garden and I see a half coconut shell lying on the ground. So I ask her about it and she says it must have been dropped there by something. So I say it must have been an African swallow. I then have to spend 5 minutes explaining it to her while she patiently carries on cooking and waits for me to stop talking.
I think you'll have to explain it to me too.
Could you also explain why it is written in the present tense?

It's a reference to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the coconut shells and how they could have got to England in King Arthur's day was a running joke.

No particular reason for the present tense, it's just a style chosen, in this case, unconsciously.

Watching the indycar race on sky, the very American coverage presentation have just run an ad for events including "carb day"

Mrs Lop: is that when they all eat chips?

She's actually a total petrolhead whose understanding of racing keeps me on my toes !

I've just been watching a video on Youtube featuring Naymar's best bit of skill. He's wearing various different kits, the other teams featured also are wearing a multitude of kits. Some matches are in daylight, some under floodlights. Some have commentary, some do not.

I'm admiring the superb skills, Mrs SCE can also tell that the bloke is a bit good, but then she comes out with "Which match is this?"

FFS, I despair, I really do.

Not really the point.

His missus (not Mrs) knew the name of another rugby player, but one from a different country. The fact that you haven't heard of either of them is irrelevant.
Well you've got me there as I know f/all about rugby.

BTW, my spelling was deliberate, bearing in mind that the thread title is "Classic from the mrs!"
