I'll Have The Misogyny Au Gratin, Please
by Steve West on April 15, 2008

We were having dinner with my nephew the other night and the conversation steered toward his numerous relationships.
He replied with that standard chauvinistic response, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?"
My wife looked at him directly and retorted, "Yeah, why buy the whole pig for just a little sausage?"
My nephew stammered, "Exactly! I agree. Wait a minute..."
That's my girl.

Sweet! :) I mean, obviously if she married you, she had to have a sense of humor, but a quick wit too? ;)

I'd Pick The Kitty
This is supposedly a real newspaper clipping although I can find no reference to which paper it is and is therefore suspicious. I choose to believe it is real so I can enjoy the joke more. Go »
End Of My Blog Sabbatical
Just came back from my local town's (Bowie, MD) fireworks display. For such a small town they really do a good job. This is really saying something where the fireworks show right next door (Washington DC's) Fireworks on the Mall gets national coverage. Go »
Have I Mentioned How Much I Love My Wife?
I got a surprise visit from Amy Austin today. She was passing through Maryland on her way to Florida and took the time to call me from the road. I was thrilled that she thought of me being in the area and invited her to visit for what could only be a brief visit. Go »
Bingo!
I just came back from a Daddy/Daughter event at Lauren's school. It was a PTA sponsored Bingo night. Lauren and I spent two hours playing Bingo laughing in frustration about coming so close to winning and just hugging and sharing a good time. Go »

Tell your wife to keep 'em coming, Steve -- I could use some good old-fashioned... misandry???
Ha... well, whatever it's called, that was definitely a good one. ;-)
