Originally published in “The Sound and the Fury” on 11/10/10. Considerably revised for this post, especially the second half where I was apparently winging it without any degree of skill, and most of the items hit the recycle bin. And yes, I realize this one is a bit mean-girlish, but the true intent is just exasperated silliness, the hallmark of Bonnywood…

Hubby sympathies with the ‘partner’ in this hilarious little list. Because he NEVER (willingly) did any sort of ‘woman’s work’ type chores, #7 was (if you inserted football, boxing or racing (cars)) his ‘thing’ and yet he didn’t see the irony when I’d get frustrated and yell at the TV; and he was guilty of saying some of those things on the list to ME (as if I’m not absolutely perfect and he had nothing to bitch about)…well he’s dead now and can’t contradict me…so that’s my story and I’m sticking to it! Thanks for the chuckle, btw, I really need to trying laughing more…I think my giggle box thinks my throat has been slit or something… 😉

You know I am fully invested in the health of your giggle box. Don’t tell the other folks who are commenting, but I really relish hearing what you have to say about each of my posts, hoping that at least one bit or another got you to a happy place. And to be fair, many of the things on this list actually apply to me as well, but I’m not going to officially admit it unless a judge looks at me and says “the defendant must answer the question”…

Consider the amount of space a dishwasher takes up in a home percentage wise. Consider the value of that space as a percentage of the total property value. Then consider the amount of time it actually serves a functional purpose. Then and only then will you understand the need to use the space in order to get your moneys worth. Leaving the dishes in maximizes the usage. See?

I’m all about the 8s. I can’t even remember how my favourite film ends. There was a comedy sketch once that went along those lines as per CJ above. It ended with ‘Didn’t he use to be John Wayne?’ If anyone knows where that came from. I’ve searched for years as I regularly quote it. Excellent use of a sarcastic tone. The more facetiousness the better.

If you do pursue this mission, it was possibly as far back as the 80s and I want to say it was a sketch show (rather than a sit-com), probably British, but could be wrong on all counts. Is that vague enough? While you’re at it, could you also research the 1970’s British advert that had the tagline ‘Every one’s a fluffy one’. Then that will be another mysterious quote of mine solved. Thankyou.

Sigh. I really did intend to do some serious excavation, but now you have me questioning my dedication to this pursuit. Oh, screw it, where there’s a will there’s a way, or something like that (my apology to the quote purists out there) and maybe, someday, I will find the nuggets we seek. Which reminds me of certain amorous conquests in my early Twenties, but that’s a story for another time…
