Maggie’s Send the Missus on an Errand

Hope you have your battle gear on when she returns. Depending on her level of tenaciousness you could have plenty of time to get ready.

Reminds me of the time my wife wanted crab cakes and I told her I would make them if she would go to the store and get the "'lump crab meat". She was gone for a couple hrs. Came back empty handed, I left and was back in 20 mins with it. She was not happy with me at all, nor will she be if she reads this.

I printed this out and gave to Busenhalter-6.... I mean, she just got a Masters. She should figure this out. Right?

Cheers,

Sirhr

You'd think. :p. She just may end up playing you like a fiddle. ;). Don't be bashful n keep us posted. And again, congrats to Her on a tremendous achievement!! Whatta household.

edit: I should do the same, but the painful following phone calls from autozone et al would be brutal. I can't do it. I'll lose my shit.:eek:

Back in the early eighties, my girlfriend at the time and I were just getting over a fight, and I was still a little pissed about it. She wanted to get a 6-pack and some chips, so I handed her 10$. She asked me what kind of dip I wanted, so I looked at her and said "Bearded clam".

She said "Okay!" and ran into the deli. After a while the clerk (an old friend from our Boy Scout days.) looked out the door and made eye contact with me. He just shook his head and went back in.

After a while Jenny came out huffing and puffing with a red face. Turns out she'd asked EVERYBODY to help her find Bearded Clam dip.

Her best plan to get back at me was to tell all our friends about it. It became the stuff of legends.
 
i couldnt do that to my lovely, she takes things like that so seriously...
she dont give up, nor take no for an answer, i'm telling you bros she would find a bottle of it...

I know what you mean. One time I was trying to track down some of plastic Sceptre military gas cans. I found some on line but they were like 100 bucks apiece. My wife was going garage saling and asked if I needed any thing I said sure plastic sceptre gas cans as a response to my frustrations. That night she comes home with six. I about puked thinking what she paid for them. She said "5 bucks a piece" The guy was asking 10 a piece but I talked him down"
 
Was down in the keys fishing with an old girlfriend and we had dinner at a local place and I had a couple of dozen of raw oysters. The girl friend's first trip down. She wouldnt try any that night and I told her she should have some that night. She asked if they were good and I said ok but 2 didn't work. She didn't understand the joke.

That night after a few beers the waitress asked me if I wanted more some oysters tonight. Girlie blurred out no cause two of them didn't work, I spit out my beer laughing and the waitress said honey I'm surprised you made it out tonight. I was dying. I had to explain it to her and it was a long day on the water the next morning.

That's hilarious. Yard Sale Adventures & Experiences. You should start a new thread. It'd be epic. Who doesn't have stories on things picked up?
