TCH-Rob Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 So my wife comes home with the kids tonight, walks through the door and says "What is that smell"? My reply, "Bratwurst boiled in beer and finished off over the grill. Want some"? This was followed by her stating "Um, no. That is disgusting". Being the kind person I am I said "Why, is it because it is fresh food and not something that comes from a Betty Crocker box like you prefer?" Man, I hate sleeping on the couch. Quote
Boojum Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 I don't know, Rob. I hope you'll learn from this who wields the real power in any marriage: she who can assign you to the couch. And She Who Can Assign You to the Couch had best not be disrespected. (My wife would have laughed and said "Better a smartass than a dumbass," but that's my wife. Yours is obviously equipped with a different sense of humor.) Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 16, 2004 Author Posted June 16, 2004 Brian, I prefer my humor with a bit of bite, she prefers my humor on the couch. She does find me funny, most often after I have walked into or tripped on something. Quote
DarqFlare Posted June 16, 2004 Posted June 16, 2004 Brutal Rob. I don't think I would have said that myself, and I'm pretty brave. As it is, I'm usually the one (When compared to my fiancee) that eats the processed food. Gotta love Mac & Cheese... Ramen... Campbells Chunky soups... I sound like a bachelor. I suppose if I lived with her then I wouldn't eat like this... And she can't kick me out of the bed since we live apart at the moment, I suppose that's one perk. Heh.. Rob, we've got a spare bedroom here if you need it. Quote
Virtual Imager Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 For what it's worth.... I think beer-boiled bratwurst finished off over the grill sounds like a gourmet treat and your offer to share it was quite nice indeed! Confrontational remarks breed confrontational replies.... your response was inevitable given her comment. We, men and women alike, generally only push a button when we know what light we're turning on.... the outcome was predictable... and therefore desired by one or both of you. My advice: confuse her by responding differently to the challenges... or learn to love the couch! That will be one hundred american dollars please! Quote
kajoiner Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I will just share the words of wisdom that my father gave me on my wedding day. "Son, if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy" Six years later (as of June 20th), I have found that to be true. Every time Mama wasn't happy, I have been in the recliner. Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 17, 2004 Author Posted June 17, 2004 Randy, Fast wit brings foot in mouth disease around here. I cant help it, and I did buy a comfy couch for a reason. Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Voof Rob, the couch here is yours anytime you have eaten Bratwurst boiled in beer. No problem as long as you cook it here too cause i wanna try it. Quote
danceswithscissors Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 THAT explains the odor on this side of town! Yuck! Quote
TCH-Rob Posted June 19, 2004 Author Posted June 19, 2004 Haha, yep. Nothing like beer boiling on the stove. Quote
Boojum Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 In the immortal words of that great philosopher, Homer Simpson: "Mmmmm ... beer!" Quote
