Unbelievable wife comments --I can't be the only one

[radrambler]

I had mine give me some crap about my car...she said "it will be the same ole piece of crap 5 years from now with nothing more done to it "..i looked at her and said " THATS OK, it was here before you and it will be here after you" doh!

Not as good as the others but i thought my BIZALLS ARE TALKING for me ...

jealous of the car a bit... yes .. sounds like you guys dont have that problem

i have 2 that i still hound her to this day....one somewhat car related the other not.

Years ago when the NFL started using that yellow line to show the first down marker, we were watching the game and she came in and sat down. Couple plays later they went to a no huddle and up popped the yellow line real quick. She turns to me and says, "how do the people carrying the yellow line run down the field so fast". i looked at her dumbfounded and said what?, she repeated the same thing. I told her they are on a zip line, she said, "oh ok, that is a cool job to have"

Maybe a year or two ago we were watching a nascar race, and can't remember who was leading but it was a ford. She says, "that's neat, when did they start doing that". i said "start doing what", she said "putting the drivers Zodiac sign on the car". I said what are you talking about. She proceeded to point and the TV and says "look right there, it says Taurus across the bumper". I just looked at her and had no response.

she sure does keep in interesting!!

Quite a few years ago I was watching an Indy race with Danny Sullivan driving with his arm in a cast after breaking it. One of the commentators, I think it was Sam Possi, says to the other guy, "Danny doesn't seem to be driving as well as he did before he broke his arm" (or something very close to that)! I had to stop watching the race. I couldn't stand anymore insight like that.

My wife has at least one good one a day. NO JOKE!

But my favorite has got to be the time a bunch of friends were celebrating a birthday at a dive bar in Sacramento ca.
My wife asked if i wanted anything since she was going up to the bar. I said "can you get me a PABST BLUE RIBBON"? (It was the house beer, Told you it was a dive bar)

So a few minutes later she came back empty handed....

I asked her if she forgot to get my beer and she replied
"sorry honey they dont serve PAPA'S NEW WEAPON here"

Needless to say Pabst blue ribbon will for ever be known as Papa's new weapon!

Not my wife, but a former coworker who had a masters in Chemical Engineering but was clueless about life in general.

Early one morning, the power went out in her neighborhood so we weren't surprised when she didn't show up to work. A couple of hours later, she called and said she couldn't get her car out of the garage to go to work because it won't open without power. I reminded her of the big, red handle to release the door that I showed her when I installed the door opener a year or so earlier. If that wasn't bad enough, she went on to ask if she can flush the toilet without power.

I still laugh to myself when I think about that one.

Good ol' Sam... I remember a long, involved explanation he gave about how the "new" carbon brakes would fade when they got hot. Fortunately, Al Unser was there to straighten things out. Didn't hear much from Posey after that.

Not my wife but an ex girlfriend....

I use to show Akitas, it was on our second date when she came over to my place and i introduced her to several of my dogs. She asked what kind they were etc and where they came from. i told her they were originally from Japan and were originally used for bear hunting and then fighting and gave her the basic history of the breed. She then asked me if i thought having them here in america was traumatic for them because i couldnt speak japanese! There was no third date.....

My ex once told me she did not want to fly from new york to california..because she hated flying over the ocean.

And about sam posey..he was giving a little speech in a tent at lime rock and my ex gf and I stopped to listen-after about thirty seconds she said "oh my god this guy is boring" and walked away.

Sorry to thread jack but what's up with all the Sam Posey bashing? Great driver in Trans-Am/Can-Am and his segments in the F1 Pre-race broadcasts and F1 Debrief (Posey's Perspective) is like poetry even as He suffers from Parkenson's.

Anyway......back to the wife/GF blondisms.......
