to sometimes wonder how DP functions in the real world?

[hellinabreadbasket]

He literally just asked me "is an Eskimo a fish or a mammal"

That's actually quite funny, he was joking right?

An ex asked me, after watching some adverts on TV, who Bill Payers was and why people had to ask his permission to call a number.

He does come out with some corners sometimes - laughing at Bill Payers

Corkers - not corners!!

Did you let him know that Eskimos are infact mammals?

I was tempted to say amphibian just for the hell of it

DH asked me today if Halloween is no 23rd October this year.

this was after I read a thread on here recently when someone asked the same question and I thought, how could you on know?

So I asked said question "how do you not know it's on 31st, it is every year, always has been"

Answer from DH "Oh..! "

So I'm none the wiser (and neither is he I suspect!).

Oh mycat- I love that - like haloween being a bit like Easter

Love these!

A colleague asked me once what day Good Friday was on this year and was astounded that I immediately knew that it would be on a Friday!

Colleague once asked about the time of a meeting.
I said, midday.
His brow furrowed and he asked "but what time is midday?"

My DH is a very competent worker and a sensible fully grown man, but I do wonder sometimes if he just acts all doe eyed and helpless to elicit my sympathy. I tell him to pull himself together or give him stink eye and he usually pulls round sharpish.

Hypotenuse- that's exactly it! Although these random snippets of silliness do make me laugh... Another example "I thought the brown stuff on the fish in fish and chip shops was the skin" (he meant the batter)

My dp is exactly the same, he is a highly intelligent man with a very serious job but comes out with corkers like this

Me: "I got Glastonbury tickets!"
Him: "great, did you get coach package tickets?"
Me: "yes"
Him: "cool. Did you know you have to take a bus to get there?'!"
Me: "errrr, yes. That's what the 'coach' part of the 'coach package' means....."
