Indeed. And so you think and hope- that you are not easily replaced. <g>

On a slightly different thought, my wife had been previously married, and
had left her ex because of some extra-curricular activities on his part.

Now, when I screw up on something (fairly large screw-ups) she is quick to
remind me, saying, (I got rid of one, already. I can do it again, just as
easily) This, with a smile on her face.

I think (hope) she is joking on that one, too! <g>

Being introduced as "My present husband" keeps one's role in context,
doesn't it?

My wife and I ran a disaster office for the Republic of the Marshall Islands
and she started the office while I was still employed by the US Army at
Kwajalein. When my retirement came thru, only 2 weeks after my wife opened
the disaster office, I came down and was introduced by the Chief Secretary
of the Republic to the President of the Marshall Islands as: "Mr. Kathy
Fields".

Still tickles me...

You may have heard that old joke of two men talking with each other,
and one was trying to remember a restaurant's name and just couldn't
recover it. He asked his buddy "Hey, what's the name of that flower
that smells good but has thorns?" His friend responded "Do you mean
roses?" "Yeah, that's it." He turned and shouted to his wife "Hey
Rose, do you remember. . .".

It's been a long recovery but he's OK now, except for the limp.

Yep. I've used that joke and will use it again. It tickles my old funny
bone every time.

I have to admit, I missed that one, the first time around.

Could it be that I'm not quite as old as you two? ;-)

I'm only 29, really I am, I just look like this because I had a rough
youth. Now, of you don't like that lie I will tell you a better one next
time.

I look old because it's been a long journey and some of the roads
weren't paved.

When God said "let there be light" I threw the switch. My dog fetched it.

In my case I refuse to age. I prefer to ferment.

I think all of these comments have caught me truly.... speechless.

I can't find appropriate words to lift me up above all of the.....
.....Bull****! ;-)

Perhaps a Huey? Perhaps a Sky? <g>

It would have to have pretty good high altitude performance, because......
It's gotten pretty darn deep around here! :-))))

Look, pal, I take offense to your referring to my lies as BS. I am
too lazy to pile BS that deep. I prefer the term horse apples. One
requires a shovel, the other requires a mucking fork. Besides, anyone
can lie. It takes talent to lie big and consistently.

Now, when it comes to war stories: there I wuz, me and Ike, that's
General Eisenhower to you.....

On the other hand, politicians are best described as manure salesmen
with mouthfuls of samples.
