Fuck ‘em If They Can’t Take a Joke

Posted in Essays, thoughts, Whatever This Is by fred1979 on December 31, 2008

The thing about my wife is …

She doesn’t like it when I wake her up in the middle of the night to croak “oil can” like a heavily-medicated Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. Say perhaps, that just at that moment, I had a stroke and a heart attack … and the only words that I could get out were “oil can”, which I thought were symbolic enough for her to realize that I’ve had two incredibly unlikely-for-my-age major health issues at the same time.

I COULD HAVE DIED.

Insensitive, I tell ya’.

    It must be a girl thing, because I definitely would’ve punched you in the gut for that one.

    You’re just too sensitive.
