Just that one post, or do you mean in general?

[Calandale]

That one, particularly.
But another, earlier, had
me a bit dazed, too.

You USUALLY make sense.

You are just slow today.

It made perfect sense to me.

EDIT:  Maybe you had to be there/you would have to know him to have this be funny, but it was funny to me because he's been in the doghouse lately with his wife/my friend, so he's been in a lot of discussions where there was nothing he could say that she wouldn't be able to get mad at him for saying; so he might have actually been genuinely glad to hear me (as a female) outright admit I was tempted to ask my boyfriend a question that woudl result in a fight no matter what he said in reply.

Yes, he would have felt better to see someone else in the doghouse for starting an argument!  :lol:

Well, I'd not have put my guy in the doghouse.  More like I thought the argument might be fun.  Plus, I missed him a little and wanted an excuse to call.  I ended up not calling though.

This was absolutely priceless, and I was just reminded that I'd not shared it here yet:

A week or so ago, I hung out at one of my friends' houses and watched Moulin Rouge.  I was, of course, a total asshole about how stupid the movie plot was, and afterward, I start getting into a rambling discussion about it.  Somehow this lead to my suggesting that I should call my boyfriend (who was not present) and ask him if, if I were a hooker before he started dating me, would he want me to stop hooking.  I pointed out that it would be kind of funny because I could pretend to be offended by him saying he wouldn't mind (as in, "You don't care about me!") but I could also pretend to be offended by him syaing he WOULD mind (as in, "I'll choose my own damn career, and you knew what you were getting into!"). 

(Next comes the part that was actually funny)

So when I say that, my friend's husband (who has been in the doghouse lately with his wife and has been suffering for it) suddenly looks at me with this expression of triumph and shock and says, "You ADMIT it!"  and I was like, "Huh?"

"Sometimes there really is no way to say the right thing!"  he explained.



I didn't know it was suppsed to be a secret.  I thought it was self-evident.

I don't think any of that is very funny, at all.

Nobody is.  Either you missed the "if" or you are just pretending to be dense again.

There are men who do this thing of taking exception no matter how you answer their questions as well. 

I think that it depends on whether the person wants to pick a fight with you rather than his or her gender.

My ex and I used to have huge fights about crap. I used to say to her "This is going nowhere and I can't be bothered. I am going out. You argue with yourself while I am out and when I get back tell me who won and how it was resolved."

Unfortunately those were some of the arguments that were never resolved and for some reason were actually worse when I got back.

Oh I know that well enough.  My female progenitor was a master at it.

No. I got THAT. It was later on. About the actually admitting it.
I'm not sure whom he was accusing, nor what that was even about.

I got the set up, perfectly well.
