To want to beat mu husband about the face with a shovel because he said.......

[CloudAtlas]

"why bark myself when I can buy a dog to do it" (I know he got it all a bit mixed up btw).
He came home from work early (7pm!!!) last night so I could go out with a friend. Upon entering the house he asked me what he was having for his dinner. I asked him if he knew where the oven was. He said "why bark myself when I can buy a dog to do it". He claims it was a joke.

yanbu

No. It wasn't a joke. Jokes are funny.

Here, have a pick axe - so much more efficient than a shovel in circumstances such as these.

my point exactly OrmIrian.
Many Thanks for the shovel harleyd, can I give it you back for a quick rinse when I've done with it?!

no. you are not being unreasonable. here, borrow mine.

go for it...

you should've said, "Why would I stay at home for burgers when I can have steak out for free?"

that would've confused him

yanbu! hit him twice with the shovel! joke my £$%&

lol urban
Really appreciate all the shovels btw. Am stocking up

Yanbu

here is a German one

go for it

hmmm

well I am not liking the thread title tbh >

sorry olive, don't wish to offend anyone................. except my husband

YANBU. My dh claimed to crack a joke last night too. I asked him if he minded me helping at Guides and he said, 'as long as you can pick the lock between you and the cooker, you can do as you please, my sweet!'

oh ignore me, I think I am having a sense of humour failure

I just think if it said "beat my wife with a shovel" you would have got roasted alive

YABU. You knew what you were doing when you married Jim Davidson.

Does he watch "Lead Balloon" - this joke was on it last week...is he trying to be funny?

Well, you'll love this..

The other day someone cut in front of dh and he said, "pah, women drivers" so I said "Oh, of course, terrible. How dare they leave the kitchen?" to which he replied, no, they can drive....the school run and the supermarket."

Then to make matters worse, he thought it would be funny to drop into full on 'wind-up-my-wife' mode and he said that this is why most accidents happen in supermarket car parks and at school run time - it's the high concentration of women drivers

me
him

funnily enough I use the phrase "you don't buy a dog and bark yourself" on my dh quite a lot

( he'd never heard of it before I used it on him - sheltered life obviously)

YANBU.

Did he cook his own dinner?

My DH listened to me complain about my busy day on Monday.

8am Take DS to kindergarten
8.30 Take DD to speech therapy
9.30 Take DD to kindergarten
12.15 pm Pick up DD from kindergarten and take her to swimming class
4pm Pick up DS from kindergarten
6pm Cook tea
7.30 Go to French class

In between this, I washed and ironed the clothes (and MNetted)

DH said, "Well, it is all self made stress though isn't it?"

Can I have the shovel back?

All yours kinder!! Glad it's not just me!

Elizabeth, well he cooked (?) some spaghetti and heated up some bolognaisse from the fridge, which was 5 days old!
