My wife rarely displays poor judgment. But tonight she handed me an empty Christmas wrapping paper roll, about 3' long, and axed me to throw it away. Then she's surprised when I immediately use it:


  • as a simulated club to lightly whack her on the head
  • as a way to irritate her annoying little dog that's growling at me for being in the same room because he's overly protective of her
  • as a pretend sword to defend myself when she suddenly realizes the tactical error she's made and wants to take the paper roll away from me
  • as a makeshift bullhorn to hurl verbal taunts and challenges at her


Her surprise quickly turned to mild anger.

WTF??? It's not my fault I'm a guy. We've been married 23 years. She's the one that should know better.
