Staggeringly dumb comments your GF/WIFE/other females have said to you...

(of course, many did....many European Jews went to what was then Palestine -- not too cool for a teacher not to know it wasn't Israel until 1948 -- in the 1930s as they sensed what was coming down the road. Not a TOTALLY dumb comment as many who had the opportunity to leave, hardly an easy thing to do, chose to stay)
 
Quick ones:

#1: "I get in my head and think too much." She must have really been hurting herself, too, doing that.

#2: We're getting ants in the house.
Q: Where are the ants coming from?
A: Outside.

I realize I could have been more specific with the question, but was it really necessary? Apparently. She was, however, emphatic with her answer and had no inclination to further investigate and solve the problem herself.
 
A friend of mine was upset with her husband who was laying on the floor. Despite being a nurse she had forgotten what a scro-tum is called and said, "Shut up or I will stomp on you right in the wiener bag!"
 
Okay, I actually have one about something I did today.

I was at the Sock/Cox match. I was sitting on the bleachers courtside. I was right by the back line line-judge. Sock was serving for the match. He hit a nice serve and pulled Cox out wide in the ad court. During the subsequent rally Cox hit a ball which Sock thought was out but the line judge didn't call. Fortunately Cox hit Sock's return rally ball out on the next point (the next one or the one right after). Now, I agree with Sock, I thought the ball was out too. Whatever, it was the line judge's call and it was really close and she said that it caught the back of the line.

Anyway, so as Sock was walking off the court he asked me if the ball was in. For some brain fart reason I was expecting him to ask if the ball was out. So I said: "Yeah, it was but just barely. It was so close. Fortunately you got the point anyway so it didn't matter."

It wasn't until he had started walking up the exit stairs from the court that I realized he had said "in" instead of "out". Silly me. *shakes head in amusement at one's self*

Shoot, I'm sitting here waiting for the punchline. I thought you were setting up some joke. Anyhow, I can see why you got confused.
 
I would think that last post belongs in the "Amazingly brilliant comments your GF/Wife/other females have said to you...

:D

Now that I go back and read it with a critical eye.... :D

Isn't funny how being in the midst of a situation (USTA 18/16 nats) blinds you to, um, certain peculiarities?

Watched a film the other night. 'Enemy at the Gate'. A not terribly good movie (imo) from a few years back with Jude Law (dire) and Ed Harris (brilliant) as two snipers conducting a kind of duel, amidst the appalling carnage and general hell of Stalingrad during WWII. Anyhow, about half way through, my wife uttered the immortal line:

"So... was Stalin not a very nice then"?:shock:

There then was a brief discussion about Stalin, Russia, WWII, Great Britain during the war, etc. After which, I can only say I was left feeling SHOCKED by my otherwise mega-intelligent wife's lack of knowledge...

"Did the British go into Russia as well?"...:eek:

Okay. You may say (and I don't want to sound sexist here) this isn't such a typical female area of know-how... but come on!... we are not tallking about football or something (incidentally another area she has ZERO knowledge about)... but surely the vast majority of the western world's educated woman must be aware that Stalin was a tyranical, genocidal monster and dictator who is right up there with Hitler and Pol Pot etc???!!!

So... good men of TT... "staggeringly dumb comments your GF/WIFE/other females have said to you"... any of you got some good ones!?:wink:

I love this bc it's History 101.
 
One February, my step-daughter cut down a beautiful Pin Oak tree at the corner of our property. Somewhat stunned, I asked "Why did you do that?!" She replied "It was dead." "Duh! It's the middle of winter! They ALL look dead!"
 
When our kids were toddlers, we went to an amusement park that had a small train inside of a glass case that was attached with nice brass screws. The train wasn't working so my wife told our son that Daddy would need a lot of screwdrivers to open the case and fix the train. I told her that another option was to use 1 screw driver on all of the screws. We all laugh at that one when it comes up on our family videos.

Naughty Uncle Dedans, he is a very intelligent guy though.:) We were in a serious relationship for 7 years.

When was this in the 1980s? His bio says he has been with his wife since 1990.

Also says he has attended Northwestern for a bachelors after transferring from Hampden-Sydney but doesn't mention that he has a PhD:confused::confused:

Tina is simply going along with the theme of this thread.

The joke was subtle.

Well played Tina.
 
Hi People,

You guys are asking too personal questions. I am not comfortable to answering them. Please note I was talking to Uncle Dedans. I am sure that a real world is much excited than studying people's posts here at TTW. Thank you.

I think he mistakenly thought you were talking of Stephen Colbert...

It wasn't "Palestine" then. It was just a region of the Ottoman Empire. When the Allies carved up the Ottoman Empire and created several nations out of it, Israel being one, the people living in what was to become Israel were in a part of the Ottoman Empire. This business of saying that they were "Palestinians" and that they were living in a nation called "Palestine" is something that gets repeated or implied so often, that people start to think it's true.

Actually, there wasn't a country in the 30's or 40's called Palestine.
