Sunday Smile #23 – May 3

Sunday Smile

Sunday Smile is a meme to share something about your week that brought a smile to your face (and will bring one to your readers). For me this is usually a forwarded message I got….the best one I received that week – the one that made me laugh out loud. So check out my Sunday Smile today and then go back to your blog and post something to make your reader’s smile – a forwarded like message, a story about something that happened to you, or even a photo of a funny moment….Then come back and sign Mr. Linky below so that we can all enjoy each other’s smiles as the week progresses and we get busy.

How The Fights Got Started

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take her someplace expensive….So, I took her to a gas station….. And then the fight started….

*********
My wife and I are watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed. I turned to her and said, “Do you want to have sex?”

“No,” she answered.

I then said, “Is that your final answer?”

She didn’t even look at me this time, simply saying “Yes.” So I said, “Then I’d like to phone a friend.”

And then the fight started….

*********

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver’s license to verify my age. I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, ’Unbutton your shirt’.

So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said, ‘That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me, and she processed my Social Security application. When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office.

She said, ‘You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten Disability, too.’

And then the fight started…..

*********
Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, grabbed the dog, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the truck, and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50 mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day. I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife’s back, now with a different anticipation, and whispered, ’The weather out there is terrible’..

My loving wife of 10 years replied, ‘Can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?’

And that’s how the fight started …

*********
My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as she sat alone at a nearby table.

My wife asked, ‘Do you know her?’

‘Yes,’ I sighed, ‘she’s my old girlfriend. I understand she took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear she hasn’t been sober since.’

‘My God!’ says my wife, ‘Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?’

And then the fight started…..

*******
I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his car You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn’t believe it….

He was a DWARF!!! He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and shouted, ‘I AM NOT HAPPY!!!’

So, I looked down at him and said, ‘Well, then which one are you?’

And then the fight started…..
******
I took my wife to a restaurant.. The waiter, for some reason, took my order first

“I’ll have the strip steak, medium rare, please.’

He said, ‘Aren’t you worried about the mad cow?’

‘Nah, she can order for herself’

And then the fight started…..
*********
A woman is standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, ‘I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.’

The husband replies, ’Your eyesight’s darn near perfect.’

And then the fight started…..

Small Talk Six – April 25

It’s another week of the new MomDot meme, Small Talk Six. The object of Small Talk Six is to give us something fun to blog about on Saturdays that also tells our readers a little about us. It’s a great way to make new friends and find out things they would normally never share.

This week’s topic is kind of interesting and really gets you thinking.  This week you are to list:

6 things other people do that make you personally uncomfortable

Hmm….Where do I begin? This will require some thought….

  1. Large amounts of Cursing.  A little here and there is ok, but large amounts do make me uncomfortable.
  2. Public Displays of Affection.  Not small, natural ones mind you. But I have no need to see people practically make babies in front of me – this seems to always happen at concerts!
  3. Lying.  I can’t stand to know that someone is lying to me.
  4. 6 things other people do that make you personally uncomfortable. It’s been years since I’ve actually witnessed people do drugs, but many a many years ago I traveled in a circle where drugs weren’t so uncommon and popped up from time to time, and it was never anything I was comfortable with seeing.
  5. Tears.  Not all tears, but just random teenage girl crying for no real reason….well I say teenage because that’s what I see, but really any random female emotions get on my nerves.
  6. Putting Other People Down/Gossiping.  Now, we all get stupid from time to time, but people that do this all the time, make me VERY uncomfortable.

What are some actions that people do that make you uncomfortable?  Go write about it and be sure to sign the Mr. Linky over at MomDot.

Small Talk Six – April 18

It’s another week of the new MomDot meme, Small Talk Six. The object of Small Talk Six is to give us something fun to blog about on Saturdays that also tells our readers a little about us. It’s a great way to make new friends and find out things they would normally never share.

This week’s topic is 6 animals (domestic, wild, or exotic) you think would be fun to own as pets.

This is one of the tougher ones for me as I’m not really big into pets.  We have beta fish, hermit crabs, hamsters, and dogs, but they are all really the girls’ pets. I’m just not a pet person.

There’s really only one pet I’ve wanted for a long time is a Clydesdale.

clydesdales

Yep…I want a genuine Budweiser horse.  I’m not getting one, but I’d LOVE To have one – or two or three….LOL.  It would be so fun to have them in all the local parades. 

Coming up with 5 more pets though – that’s the challenge.  

I’m NOT into cats or dogs.  The rodents really do NOTHING for me. I do think the hermit crabs are kind of cool, but we already have them.

So…let’s see.

There was a time in my life I thought a monkey would be fun…..so #2 Monkey.

Another fish I’ve wanted to add to our collection, but because of the work involved with them, I’ve avoided is Mickey Fish.

So far we’ve stuck to beta as they don’t require – real tanks and filters and stuff, but if I ever make the plunge to fish that require maintenance, Mickey Fish will be our first purchase.

Ok…so I’ve got 3…that’s only half.  I’ve got to come up with 3 more?!?!

Hmmm….ok. Well I love Charlotte’s Web so how about going with that and having a cute little pig?  It would have to be a small one, some miniature breed.

Speaking of miniatures – how about minature horses?  They are cute and seem like they’d be fun if you were a pet kind of person.

Whew!  That’s 5 one to go – what is one more fun pet?

Yes…I got it….A Parrot!  If I had one that you could actually train to talk and everything then a  Parrot could be fun.parrot

All right…there are my 6 pets I think it would fun to own.

  1. Clydesdale
  2. Monkey
  3. Mickey Fish
  4. Pig
  5. Minature Horse
  6. Parrot

What are your 6? Head over to MomDot to participate and sign Mr. Linky.

6 things you would like to do naked if you lived alone

Wow.  I’m afraid that this list might just be short of those 6 items this week because I can’t really think of much.  Hmmm..

  1. Getting ready for work in the morning after I take my shower
  2. Swimming
  3. Sitting in a hot tub (hey, if I lived alone I could afford a hot tub)
  4. Okay….Now I’m clueless
  5. I really can’t think of more than three things.
  6. Does that make me weird?
