@100ford2003 Geez Steve, are you suggesting that I don't understand women? My god man, remember I'm just a guy....I have limitations I was born with....it's a DNA thing. More importantly....did you know you can just dip your Ritz cracker into the Cheese Whiz? No knife to wash....it's great!
I always listen intently to the Shirlmeister. I feign adulation and usually applaud loudly when she is finished speaking. I always agree wholeheartedly to anything and everything she says, no matter how much I know it is insane.
She thinks I am THE smartest man that has ever existed.
@perrone1 Tony...after reading your obviously well thought out communication skills and delivery, I think you may in fact BE the smartest man on earth....or at least in Tennessee.....definitely in your cul de sac. I used to try just the clapping response to my wife's opinions on apparent important topics, current issues and stuff....whatever....but found that all she did was complain that I was wasting electricity by making the room lights turn on and off. Damned if you do...damned if you don't.

I wish I could claim even one of those distinctions. But here in the cul de sac there is a tailless cat that outwits me to no end. We leave him be and between he and the snakers, we don't see rats or mouses!
@perrone1 Hmmmm....being intellectually bested by a cat that didn't have brains enough to not seek warmth in a car engine compartment, thus receiving a fan amputation, is something you may not want to "put out there" my friend.
So. If our wives don't ever listen to us, there is a real risk they won't ever know how smart we really are. But - aha! - while we're out of the room. they may be having a sneaky read of what we're posting on the Forum, and suddenly they become truly aware of the hidden intellectual depths and worldly wisdom which we possess in spades. Right? Yeah, that's what I'm hoping too. But somewhere in the back of my head there is just this small, nagging doubt . . .
@graeme-ogg I'm reading your last post with great interest Graeme as I suspect that my lesser half has been monitoring my posts on this Foru.........hang on a minute; there's a van just pulled into the driveway and two burly men in white jackets are being waved in by her.....one has a syringe. Must be travelling pharmaceutical salesmen. I'll be right back.
@graeme-ogg I may be an hour or so Graeme. My missus tells me I've won a new jacket in a draw she entered. These two guys that delivered it are taking me for a fitting as the sleeves are far too long. Gosh I am one lucky guy....what a great woman.

You are truly blessed. And since she has gone to all this trouble on your behalf, I wouldn't be at all surprised if she has also signed you up for a short session of cognitive behaviour therapy.
Trust me, you'll be back home soon, and a changed man.
