What I've Been Reading Instead of Cleaning My House

Why I Married Nigel

So we're driving down the street and I point out to Nigel a sign in front of the local wild game meat processing plant that reads:

Smoked Dog Bones
$1.25 each

Without missing a beat, Nigel replies, "Wow. I wonder where they get the dogs."

SHILLIG -- do you mean that we go together well or that our children don't like us?

I circled the block to take a picture of that sign once....you want it?

Leslie Jam said...

I saw the same sign, and found it pretty confusing.

We're glad you married Nigel too. =)

Johnna said...

Wow. He was definitely marry-able.

You two go together well.

So glad there's a Nigel-Lois combo in this world!

PLEASE send me a copy of that sign! An email will do... I would expect to see that sort of thing around here, but not there... (which makes it all the better...)

My hubby bought our Christmas tree for $5 the night before Christmas Eve. I just took it down a couple of weeks ago... Hubby wanted to place it out front w/a "For Sale" sign on it. But, it gets better... He wanted to put a high-dollar pricetag on it, then mark through it and post a reduced price until we had it listed as "Free". He wanted to see how long it would be beore someone a)complained, b)asked for it, or c)stole it... (An upstairs neighbor had his truck stolen- out of our BACK yard. We've had a bike stolen. And, it's no surprise to have folks walk into our back yard when they see our son & ask for money for fuel... He's 6...) So instead, I propped it up in the corner of our yard & I'm waiting to see how long it is before the yard crew the proporty manager has hired hauls it away... :oP

And, hey... I'm glad you married my bro, too! I don't think he'd be happy w/any other wife... Just don't fall for the bedtime kiss routine- it ends in cow kisses everytime... I've been tramatized for life because of it... :oP

I just had to comment on this, don't ya know...
Can you imagine how much fun it was raising that man? Never a dull moment; cracking up at things he said that nobody else that heard it understood; going to midnight Halloween movies together to comment on the special effects; (no wait--that really didn't turn out very well)
Anyway--I really enjoyed the "far side" sense of humor, and if he hadn't been so much fun, I might never have had the others!;o)
Love you, Nigel!

B -- too funny. No, we can take our own picture. Thanks for the offer, though!

LESLIE -- I'm so surprised that I never took it that way whenever I read it!

JHJD -- yeah, he's a keeper (and NOT the keeper of the gates of hell).

JOHNNA -- thanks.

GEO -- thanks!

SC MOMMIE -- asking your six-year-old for gas money? What? I love the Christmas tree idea, though.

LILU -- how could he not be awesome? Just look at his mother!
