The wife used to promise to Love Honour and Obey. My grandmother, back in 1907, must have been anticipating Rand's idea of Sanction of the Victim. When saying the vows she refused to promise to Obey. (They remained married quite properly until Death did them part.)

Well, we're supposed to, as the Perfume commercial told us...

Bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan, and never let you forget you're a man...

(Bonus thumb if you remember the name of the product :-) )

In these cases, legitimately clueless - you would think people at the middle-management and above level would have more sense than a 13 year old... they really, legitimately didn't know. I think it was being raised around parents that promoted spoilage, and spouses too cowed to say anything, or thinking "This is how it's supposed to be"...

Not to mention a magic table to clear...

Good rejoinder!

Is that cluelessness, or good management skill? ;-b

Hmmm, are any of your ladies available? Somehow that ain't the way it works around here. Of course too, I am on number three.

I have seen this before. Fabulous! I have a slightly different issue. Sometimes when I am watching television i can hear this irritating noise, sometimes it sounds like it says "get up" "shift yourself" "Clean up" "curt the grass" and other irritating things like that. I find though that it goes away if you turn the volume up on the TV. Drinking more beer helps too.

Why would I jes't?

Not every s is preceded by an apostrophe--plurals, for example.

This is filed under Humor, but when a (male) friend sent it to me a few months ago, it was one of those AHA! moments of my life. I had not had an external image to fix upon with my observations about the ineffectual people I often observed, and too often interacted with. After this video, not only did I have a lively metaphor, but a humorous way of addressing the points at which this type of lifestyle assumption touched my life personally.

eg "Looks like the 'magic trashcan' in the bathroom is full - better take it out and empty it." or "Nope, no 'magic food' has appeared on your shelf in the fridge; I think the taco truck is just down the road..."

Surely you jest! While it may be common usage these days, plurals are not formed by adding an apostrophe s. However, contractions use the apostrophe to substitute for missing letters, e.g., can't for cannot. I do think you were joking....

Thanks, Susanne, right you are. How could I have neglected to include that!?

Apostrophe's? What's wrong with apostrophe's? They warn you that an s or sometimes a t is about to appear.

It's true.
Not only that, when I get up in the morning and do my ablutions, I return to the bedroom and the bed is made. I couldn't belive it at first, but there you have it. Sorry it doesn't seem to work for anyone but me.

One of my most perplexing mysteries is why apostrophes continue to be misused!

... AFTER spending 12+ hours a day running our business, or earning a paycheck.

(Fixed that for you..)

I've known guys who were just that clueless... guys with advanced degrees, holding down high level positions...

It was runny, I know guys just like that. Such inventive thinking to con the wife. Of course, I would not marry one,of that ilk, no matter how entertaining.

LOL!

No time to watch crud like this. We've got dishes to do, laundry to fold, groceries to buy, floors to vacuum, toilets to clean, dinner to make and serve, and then to look at him adoringly and seductively.

I agree. That and the women's facial expressions.

That last line in the video is a LOL hoot.

What no comments from the ladies of the Gulch? :)
