Morning Conversation

“Resolute? STICKSTOONESGUNS”

“Ahhhh! Good!”

“NICOSIA”

“Huh. Sure. Not ONASSIS. That’s probably the name of the terminal.”

“Yeah, maybe.”

“Good going, Wizard!”

“I still can’t get ‘Like some protective coatings’. There’s email from your sister you should read. Also a funny one from Skip." (At this point, Husband says he has to go to the bathroom, so Wizard proceeds to tell the joke in voce crescendo from outside the bathroom door):


An 86 year old man walked into a crowded waiting room and approached the desk.... The Receptionist said, "Yes sir, what are you seeing the Doctor for today?"

"There's something wrong with my dick", he replied.

The receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a crowded waiting room and say things like that."

"Why not? You asked me what was wrong and I told you," he said.

The Receptionist replied, "Now you've caused some embarrassment in this room full of people. You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or something and discussed the problem further with the Doctor in private."

The man replied, "You shouldn't ask people personal questions in a room full of strangers if the answer could embarrass anyone," and walked out. Several minutes later, he re-entered.

The Receptionist smiled smugly and asked, "Yes??"


"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated.

The Receptionist nodded approvingly and smiled, knowing he had taken her advice. "And what is wrong with your ear, Sir??"

"I can't piss out of it," he replied.

(Laughter from inside and outside of the bathroom).

A few minutes later Husband returns to the kitchen carrying the crossword puzzle book. “ANTIRUST,” he says.

“Yes!!! That’s it!”

“See ya, Wiz. Have fun with your blogging buddies.”

“Hey – don’t forget to take the mice.”

He picks up the two traps, gives the wizard a kiss, and our separate realities begin for the day. There are some wonderful things that come with more than thirty-three years of marriage. One of them is the comfort of familiarity.

It took me a couple of passes at this blog entry to make sense of it.

Then I finally "got it!"

Delightful.

Actually that is a perfect joke to tell someone while they are going to the bathroom.

Very funny! 'What's wrong with your ear?'
