For a lot of you this might be your only chance to talk to real girls!

not a wife, but had a g/f who once said she wanted to visit Arizona, China, and Asia...

God I think I died from laughter...

Before Mrs. ISUFan22 find this one as well and makes a feable attempt to embarass me...

I get by back and chest waxed. I started with my back a little over a year ago because I made Robin Williams look like a smooth man. I just got tired of it. The hot waxer (pun intended) I see knew I'd been in the gym a lot and suggested I get my chest done too - the Mrs. would like it. I gave it a try. All in all I'm pleased with it and won't go back.

Toilet paper must roll from the top, not the bottom. If I notice she's put a new role on wrong, I'll switch it and scold her for such idiotic behavior.

It still fits the category heading, as my wife makes me laugh...

I almost fell out of my chair!!

It is "Big ol Jet Airliner" though. The title is just Jet Airliner.

This song has been the topic of conversation a few times around our house. I thought it was big ol Jeb and Liza. Lame I know, but now I know. Doesn't top my fiance's "I AM ISLAND MAN!!!" intro from Black Sabboth's Iron Man

All she got was a lad saying hello back. So, she called her mom again to find out that he mom hadn't called. I checked her cell phone, and she had called herself. The woman she heard on the other end was her.

I'm laughing so hard, I'm crying.

Kudos to you, that takes some guts to admit!

I have a couple:

My wife and I have been married for 7 years but we have been together for about 13. She grew up in the city and I didn't. Farm questions still come out today.

- When she first saw beans in a field, she asked what they were. Being mean, I told her potatoes. Later she repeated this to someone else and got laughed out of the room.
- I told her about detasling corn. I guess what I left out was that not ALL corn gets detasled. After driving by a large cornfield one day, she says, "wow, they must have to hire about 100 kids to detasle that field."

Mechanical stuff she doesn't understand either (nor do I expect her to). I told her that the car needed a steering alignment since it was pulling to one side. She asked me how they get the steering wheel off to re-align it.

My wife took a China course at UNI during college. Later, she spent some time in Germany working on military bases also while in College. She traveled much of Europe while there. Despite all of this, she thought China was in Europe.

There are many more but I feel like I'm being mean.

I will say that I'm sure she could fill a page about boneheaded stuff I have done as well.

I told my wife that kerry wood and mark prior had glass arms. She wondered how they could run into somebody on the field with out the glass shattering.

You all realize that you are dead meat if your wife or girlfriend finds out you are posting these stories!!!! Or based on my experience, she will be able to tell 10 humiliating stories to your 1. Women never forget!!!!

A few years back, my wife (a Nebraska grad w/Master’s degree) returned/shipped some unneeded merchandise back to an on-line retail company. She made a follow up phone call to the company to verify their refund process. She was all bent out of shape because the customer representative said it would take “68” weeks for the refund to be processed. She even mentioned it to some of her co-workers.

I casually mentioned, “Do you think you misheard the guy on the phone and it’s actually 6 to 8 weeks?” Her reply, “No, he said 68 weeks.” My response, “You realize that’s well over a year, don’t you?” Her reply, “Hmm… maybe he did say 6 to 8…”

She received the refund about 6 weeks later.

To this day, any lame brained flub at our house is known as a “68”
