WHAT HE MEANS
|
“I’m going fishing”
|
“I’m going to drink myself dangerously
stupid, and stand by a stream with a stick in my hand, while the fish
swim by in complete safety.”
|
“It’s a guy thing”
|
“There is no rational thought pattern
connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical.”
|
“Can i help with dinner?”
|
“Why isn’t dinner already on the table?”
|
“Uh huh,” “Sure, honey,” or “Yes, dear…”
|
Absolutely nothing.
It’s a conditioned response.
|
“It would take too long to explain”
|
“I have no idea how it works.”
|
“I was listening to you. it’s just that i have things on my mind.”
|
“I was wondering if that redhead over there is wearing a bra.”
|
“Take a break honey, you are working too hard.”
|
“I can’t hear
the game over the vacuum cleaner.”
|
“That’s interesting, dear.”
|
“Are you still talking?”
|
“You know how bad my memory is.”
|
“I remember the theme song to
‘F Troop’, the address of the first girl I ever kissed, and the
vehicle identification numbers of every car I’ve ever owned, but I
forgot your birthday.”
|
“I was just thinking about you, and got you these roses.”
|
“The
girl selling them on the corner was a real babe.”
|
“Oh, don’t fuss, i just cut myself, it’s no big deaL.”
|
“I have
actually severed a limb, but will bleed to death before I admit that I
am hurt.”
|
“Hey, i’ve got my reasons for what i’m doing.”
|
“And I sure hope
I think of some pretty good reasons soon.”
|
“I can’t find it.”
|
“It didn’t fall into my outstretched hands,
so I’m completely clueless.”
|
“What did i do this time?”
|
“What did you catch me at?”
|
“I heard you.”
|
“I haven’t the foggiest clue what you just said,
and am hoping desperately that I can fake it well enough so that you
don’t spend the next 3 days yelling at me.”
|
“You know i could never love anyone else”
|
“I am used to the way
you yell at me, and realize it could be worse.”
|
“You look terrific.”
|
“Please don’t try on one more outfit, I’m
starving.”
|
“I’m not lost. i know exactly where we are.”
|
“No one will ever
see us alive again.”
