Because my wife & I work in the same suburb, our morning commutes are on many of the same roads. Toni has to be at work at 8 am, I don't have to be in until 8:30. So I generally get in the shower just as she's walking out the door. Every morning she'll call before I've left telling me how bad the traffic is so I know whether to take the regular route or to take one of my alternate routes.
This morning she was in a particularly foul mood when she got up and stormed out the door. And the past 2 days she's happened to call while I was brushing my teeth. Yesterday I was smart enough to rinse before picking up the phone, this morning I was more tired and thus not quite as quick on my toes so I answered the phone with a mouth full of toothpaste.
With my speech slurred due to the toothpaste Toni asked, "Was I THAT bad this morning that I drove you to drink?" And she was finding it quite amusing...
"No, I'm blushing my teef right now. I've got toofpaste in my mouf."
"Did you find the Vodka?"
"Yeff, I thtopped uthing Lithertine and replathed it with Abtholut... oh and I don't thwith and thpit, I thwith and thwallow."
At that point she finally agreed to let me go because I was making her laugh a bit too hard while driving and I really wanted to finish "blushing my teef."
I guess ya had to be there...
About Me
- Perplexio
- I'm a perpetually puzzling and persistently pleasant person. My purpose is to propose perplexing points and queries to the predominantly problematic issues concerns and etc. pervading, invading, overtaking our lives via the perpetual posturing of pretentious celebrity types who purport to know better than we pious people how to live our otherwise pleasant lives. Prior to further perplexing you it is an honour and pleasure to make your acquaintance.... And it's also a good thing I don't have any spitting problems or my monitor would be drenched by now.

LMAO! Oh, wedded bliss!
As Johnny Carson usee to say, "funny stuff".
Lithertine is a very dangerous compound, Perplexio. It's often used as an explosive chemical by SWAT teams.
green eyes: We have mornings where we drive each other up the wall-- but don't all couples have those? It's the ability to laugh at those mornings when hindsight becomes 20/20 that makes it work.
bruce: Whereas Jay Leno would use the story to somehow find a way to take a not-so-subtle yet humorous jab at Kevin Eubanks.
Phoenix: In that case, it's ESPECIALLY good that I switched from "Lithterine" to "Abtholut"!
I guess ya had to be there...
