Dumb hubby tricks

[TennesseeTruly]

Not a dumb hubby trick but my sister Chrissy that's 5 years younger than I am moved into her first apartment and wanted to make her boyfriend a corned beef and cabbage dinner. My sis had never cooked anything...nothing...ever!

My mom tells her how to cook it and if she has any problems, just call. 10 hours later, Chrissy calls me in tears. She doesn't know what she's doing wrong. They're now starving and mom must have gone to bed because she's not answering the phone and her meal's not done.

Me: Not done? What do you mean?

Her: It's still red. When's it going to turn brown?

That was 25 years ago. We still tease her today. She said when she called me it had shrunk up to the size of a hockey puck! ROFL!!

DH was on his way to the doctor the other morning with a foam soda cup (one of the big gulps) with hot coffee in it, and NO lid. He got choked and blew it all over the dash and windshield of the truck, and literally had to stop in the road and pour it out and cough his head off. I don't say much, but really . . .what could I say?

So I'm sitting here sipping my soda and DH walks up...

I give him the ol 'stem to stern look' and bust out laughing because he's got one of his BLACK Crocs on and one of my (2 sizes smaller) LIGHT BLUE Crocs on...

He says "What? Is My Fly Open?"

God I love that man.

I used to live with my ex boyfriend in his uppity neighborhood where all the lawns were perfect and all handbags were designer. Women would sit in the kitchens and gossip and the men would upgrade their boats and/or SUV's practically annually. Well, my ex was for the most part one of them, in that he has money, and lived in the neighborhood for many years. BUT my ex was one thing the other guys were not: "unique". Let's just call it unique. Okay, he was blatantly wacky. Anyway, he had the BRIGHT screaming yellow crocs that he bought in Hawaii and he just thought they were the coolest things. He would not only walk around the neighborhood year round wearing the bright yellow crocs, but he would boast about how he bought them in Hawaii before anyone around here knew about them.

He loved them so much he would periodically run them through the dishwasher to keep them nice and bright!

I gotta give it to him though, the guys really ragged on him, calling him feminine (that's not the word they used but I'm censoring) and laughed at him when he wore them with socks, and he truly didn't care. He loved them and thought they were awesome and none of his richy rich friends were going to convince him otherwise. He got looks everywhere we went. At first it bothered me a little, but I finally decided, who cares? He's happy and he's the one who has to wear them, not me.

Incidentally I long since moved out of Snobville and am happy to be in the woods with "regular folk" who do "unsightly things" like keep chickens. However, if he ever wore those around here, he would probably be outright beat up, lol.

(Sorry if that was off topic, but as soon as you said bubby & crocs, I had to share.)

Well, the kicker for me was the fact that HE LOOKED DOWN before saying that...

I swear, no matter what kind of crazy drama is going on the man can make me laugh at the goofiest things.

IE he's taking Classic Greek (so if Alexander the Great comes to town we are SO set) and he comes home with this joke...

A greek actor has a tear in his costume so he takes it to his tailor.

The taylor says "Euripides?"

The actor replies "Yeah, Eumenides?"

And that my friends is why we're still together after 13+ years... the man can laugh at my jokes and I crack up like a LOON over his.

I have no words for this.......actually I do but I will have to tone them down. Whoever this "electrician" and I use the word loosely in this case , was , he should have his liscence revoked . Lines are to be buried within a certain depth ( up here I believe is 24" ) each state varies . I know you're joking about the severeity of your encounter....but it really isn't anything to joke about . GOD must have surely been looking after you that day....you should have been dead . I've seen too many people hurt.....too many dead for less . My husband got into 480 v being stupid . He was working on a panel , on a ladder , and couldn't get the ladder situated right . He decided to just wing it and over extend . Guess what happened....you bet.....the ladder tipped and he hit a phase off the panel . He's lucky there was no arc flash . Guys are dumb like that though . They do stupid , dangerous things just to prove they can . I won't mention any other instances ....there are too many , and quite frankly.....they're not that funny when you know what could have happened . DON'T EVER MESS WITH THINGS THAT COULD KILL YOU WHEN YOU DON"T KNOW IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just type in arc flash to google or you tube....then tell me if you want to mess with electricity .
Thank God you're still alive .

Bill went months without using his camera because it wouldn't turn on, finally he took it to best buy geek squad, they took the battery out turned it around and the camera turned on

. The dork never thought he may have put the battery in backwards.

OMG I so did something similar. A few summers ago we had one of those blue pools you just set out, inflate the ring around the top and fill with water. It was a good ways away from our house and we ran an extension cord to the filter across the yard. We bought a bright pink (think highlighter) cord so there was no possible way to miss it. When someone mowed they were supposed to unplug it and coil it up on the car port so no one would hit it but I thought it would be so much better if I just did it when I got to it. Three hours later I finally get to the back yard where the cord is and I had completely forgotten all about it. I run across it and hear the wierd crunch sound and the mower just stops. My legs hurt like crazy and the bottom of my feet are burning. (I mow barefoot) Yep you guessed it...I hit the cord. There is a rubber no slip mat on the foot rests but there were two metal rivets in the middle to hold them in place. I had had my feet on the rivets and how I have an inch wide circular scar on each heel where it burned me. I didn't walk for like a week b/c it hurt so bad. Now I can't help but laugh when I think about it and of course I haven't been allowed to mow since. But my parents just bought one of those zero turn mowers with the awesome almost game controller like bars. So I think maybe I'll have to sneak onto that when they are working, besides they can't get mad if I suprise them with the yard mowed right?

I forgot to mention I was 18 when I did this so there was no excuse for me. I'm just clumsy like that..I trip over flat surfaces and fall UP stairs.
