Did I say something wrong?

[GunnyGene]

Wife of 45 years and I were talking today, and she said: "I've been picking up after you for 45 years."

I sez: "Yep, and you've been doing a damn fine job of it to."

So why do I have this swelling around my eye?

After 45 years of marriage, you should have learned.... when to duck!

Gunny, you need to have a talk with this guy:

A guy comes home and wants his wife to cook him something to eat. After begging and listening to her tell him that she's been watching Oprah all day and she doesn't have to do anything she doesn't want to do, he says that if she doesn't fix him something to eat that she won't see him for 3 days. "Whatever!" She didn't see him on the 1st day, or the 2nd or 3rd day either. On the 4th day she could barely see him, out of her left eye.

On 2nd thought, don't mess with 45 years of marriage, it's already been longer than a life sentence :mrgreen:

It's a known fact that women don't have a sense of humor. The will fake it once in a while but it's the instinct to protect cubs that prevents them from really seeing the humor in things, especially irony.

For our 50th wedding anniversary last month, my wife bought me a ticket to Las Vegas - one way.

After 53 years, my wife and candidate for Sainthood bought me a pistol rack for my safe.
God bless that girl!

To paraphrase Ron White: I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability.

You never know what will set them off. You would think giving her a nice compliment like that on a job well done would have a better result. Maybe you need to make certain she heard you correctly.

Gunny, frequently I read my wife the funny ones. But...This one is too close to real life. I'm old enough that I've gotten used to her picking up after me, so don't want to throw a wrench into anything. :roll:

Old Blister, my Sweet Bride, was remarking not so long ago, something on the order of "It's hard to believe I've been putting up with you 42 years...."

I offered the comment "Seems like the best 2 years of my life".......

course she seemed to take it differently than what I had intended....
