Choose your words carefully!

I posted the other day asking if it was ok to keep my rubs outside. I got a resounding no. The only reason I wanted to know was because I am having a new egg table and a new storage cabinet built for all of my chunks and accessories, etc. My wife was complaining about how much space my rub collection was taking up and wanted to know if I could move them outside.

I did learn from others here that I can keep them in the fridge. I do have a fridge in the garage, and I like that idea.

I was talking to her last night and this is how the conversation went:

Me: "The guys on the forum said that I can keep my rub in the fridge."

Her: "No they did not."

Me: "Yes they did!"

Her: "It will take up too much room."

Me: "I don't think it will take up THAT much room."

Her: "Have you lost your mind? You can't do that."

Me: "Why not?"

Her: "Because you can't store lump in the refrigerator."

Me: "Lump??? What are you talking about?"

Her: "You said lump."

Me: "I meant rubs."

Her: "Ok that will be fine."

Sometimes I think I am cracking up. Is it just me or do some of you have twilight zone conversations as well?

Me: almost done, hiccup
Her: does it take 3 hours to cook a steak?
Me: almost done, hiccup

I store lump in the fridge all the time. I make my wife like it. If she starts to complain, I simply raise the big hand. If she reads this, I'm in trouble!! Cool story above my friend.

Be careful

Tell her the charcoal will keep the fridge smelling clean.

Careful. She's obviously thought about killing you in your sleep.

The other night I was laying on the couch and Mrs Dobie was on the end near my feet and we had the TV on. We were chatting inbetween multitasking on our Ipads, watching the tube. She asked me where I would like to vacation and without looking up from my Ipad I said maybe one of those Sandals resorts........the TV turned off and I felt the cold draft of a pissed **** on the room. She thought I said "singles resort"......

Mrs. ksmyrl said "did you get all that charcoal dust in my car when you went to Ace Hardware?"

ksmyrl said "what do you want to hear?"

Mrs. ksmyrl said "you're washing my car right?"

ksmyrl said "eventually"

I am going deaf in my old age. My wife and I like to play this fun game where she says something, I say "what?", and then she repeats it at the exact same volume and annunciation.
