Nooooo, a joke is when he says something funny, and everybody laughs.

You need to explain this to him. Hide his car keys first. Just for a laugh.

serendippity · 18/10/2007 22:03

Nope..would be fuming
assuming he drinks, block beer for three days henceforth

peskipixie · 18/10/2007 22:03

kick him in the balls and tell him it is a joke. and you dont mind joking for the whole 3 days if he wants to carry on

screaminghousewife · 18/10/2007 22:04

Tell him you'll be withdrawing conjugal privileges for 3 weeks, tell him to laugh that one up!

moljam · 18/10/2007 22:06

divorce.

Blondehelen · 18/10/2007 22:08

already done that sms.
other options are food for thought

LOL quite funny as it was for a joke

otherwise, that's fighting talk

(do you think he could be subtly and humorously telling you that he would like to be spending more time with you and not looking at the top of your head over a screen? Hmm?)

xXxspookyxXx · 18/10/2007 22:09

another vote for divorce

Cosmo74 · 18/10/2007 22:09

PMSL Peski - take Sky card with you everywhere you go!!!

Sunshinecursedmummy · 18/10/2007 22:10

How about if you block the rugby on Sat as a joke (assuming he is English or SA of course)?

TreeHuggerMum1 · 18/10/2007 22:14

I say go for all of the suggestions and possibly add a few extras on just for good measure. How very dare he???

kindersurprise · 18/10/2007 22:18

divorce, and take him for every penny he has. If the judge is a MNetter you will be laughing

jamila169 · 18/10/2007 22:18

Barsteward - I'd hide the controls to his playstation.

massivebigpumpkinface · 18/10/2007 22:20

Blondehelen · 18/10/2007 22:36

There must be something in the air round here BH! My dh thought it would be funny to cable tie the mugs to the dishwasher today, and watch, giggling whilst I tried to get one out! What's all that about!

kindersurprise · 18/10/2007 22:51

Cable tie the mugs to the dishwasher??? lol, and it is not even April

MaureenMLove · 18/10/2007 22:52

Don't encourage him, I've just found a pair of scissors in a similar state! He is an arse!

Blondehelen · 18/10/2007 22:53

oh maureen, just read that out to dh and he found it highly amusing.

OP posts:
Blondehelen · 18/10/2007 22:54

was he hoping you would need the scissors to get the mugs out?

OP posts:
MaureenMLove · 18/10/2007 22:57

Yes, probably. But I was one step ahead of him there, I have dozens of pairs of scissors in my childminding box!

GoodGollyMissMolly · 19/10/2007 09:14

Hide the remote controls, and refuse to clean, cook, wash or iron (assuming of course that you do the majoritry of it all)
