Classic from the Mrs! Vol 2
Discussion
I was in Key West on holiday with an ex, lying out by the pool when a lot of noise and commotion started the other side of the wall.
It turns out there was a boat with lifting gear and police divers who were searching for something in the water. After watching them work for a while the GF asked why they weren't using sniffer dogs to help the divers find what they were after.

Brilliant one last night from the OH.
We have a giant African land snail as a pet (don't ask) called Gary. The other half decided to clean out the tank and change its soil. While she was at it she decided to get him out and hold him for a bit (yes I know technically all snails are females until they want to mate). He was sliding around and then she tipped him upside down and said....
"do you think snails feel gravity?...."
I stopped dead in my tracks and asked her what she meant and explain herself.
She realised she'd gone in to full retard mode, but carried on regardless.
"well, ya'know, they climb up walls and go on ceilings and things."
I left the room to compose myself.

Mrs has a two week temping contract which she started this week, so does not really know anyone in the office.
I warned her to be on her guard this morning due to it being April Fools Day, and not knowing what the culture is like in the office.
5 minutes later she is watching Breakfast TV, and they have an article about how one of the season (Winter I think) will be abolished from next year.
She then proceeded to tell me about how she thought it was a great idea.
I do worry about her being outside unsupervised sometimes.

Just read this one out to my lovely lady, who replied "well, dogs can swim?"It turns out there was a boat with lifting gear and police divers who were searching for something in the water.

So. it seems there are specially trained dogs who can work on water. I know this because some bloke has gone missing in Guildford after missing a bad weather warning and they specifically mentioned (and showed) the S&R guys putting a dog on a boat.It turns out there was a boat with lifting gear and police divers who were searching for something in the water.

One utterly stopped me in my tracks this week. Talking about a large mate who plays water polo, she asks:
"Would he even fit in a canoe?"

whilst watching the final of the Twenty20 yesterday, just after the second wicket taken by England the gf told me I didn't need to explain why it was going well as she understood cricket etc. etc. and then the conversation went as follows:
gf: "I know they only have a limited number of balls, its 6 per over, how many overs is it, 15?"
me: "um...the clue is in the name"
The thing is she's usually so intelligent (more so than me) which made it all the better

I think there could be a sporting classic from the missus thread all of its own...
