The (Official?) “I’m Married” Thread

Car belongs to husband or wife?

Early in our marriage I figured out how to get out of being asked to go to the store and buy feminine hygiene products for the Darling Bride. I'd just buy the wrong thing. Deliberately. She'd yell that she wanted ultra-overnight-winged-superpads or something and I'd show up with ultra overnight liners. She eventually went to the store BEFORE any anticipated emergencies and bought her own stuff off that bewildering wall of absorbent whatevers.
 
^^^ Tom and Ray Magliozzi (aka Click ‘n Clack, the Tappet Brothers) had a discussion about things their wives wanted them to do. When it came to laundry one of them said his wife had asked him to do laundry, and he purposely made a mess of it: didn’t separate things, used too much soap, etc. The result was that she never asked him to do laundry again! Hahaha
 
RED SKELTONS SECRET TO THE PERFECT MARRIAGE
1. Two times a week we go to a nice restaurant, have a little beverage, good food and companionship. She goes on Tuesdays, I go on Fridays.
2. We also sleep in separate beds. Hers is in California and mine is in Texas.
3. I take my wife everywhere, but she keeps finding her way back.
4. I asked my wife where she wanted to go for our anniversary. "Somewhere I haven't been in a long time!" she said. So I suggested the kitchen.
5. We always hold hands. If I let go, she shops.
6. She has an electric blender, electric toaster and electric bread maker. She said "There are too many gadgets, and no place to sit down!" So I bought her an electric chair.
7. My wife told me the car wasn't running well because there was water in the carburetor. I asked where the car was. She told me, "In the lake."
8. She got a mud pack and looked great for two days. Then the mud fell off.
9. She ran after the garbage truck, yelling, "Am I too late for the garbage?" The driver said, "No, jump in!".
10. Remember: Marriage is the number one cause of divorce.
11. I married Miss Right. I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'.
12. I haven't spoken to my wife in 18 months. I don't like to interrupt her.
13. The last fight was my fault though. My wife asked, "What's on the TV?"
I said, "Dust!".
Can't you just hear him say all of these?

Some of those ring MUCH more true now that I'm married...especially 11 & 12! :D
 
^^^ Some years ago I read my wife the story about the idiot (somewhere in Europe IIRC) who tried to poison his wife with Benadryl.
We’ve kind of had a running joke about it ever since.

On an unrelated topic, I have really been feeling tired and sleepy a lot, and curiously my allergies seem to be much better. My wife seems happier too. Hope everyone else is also doing well!
