While we were driving down the street, my wife, who is given to asking random questions out of the blue, asked, "What would come in a two or three gallon bucket?". Apparently she was looking for a handy bucket to mix fruit drink for events at church. Not realizing the context, my guess of "an elephant" was deemed inappropriate.

Shades of grey.

Funny and understandable. Some women start a conversation in the middle, then seem upset that you have no idea what they are talking about.

Welcome to the last 37yrs of my life.

Mine is famous for mumbling some mumbo jumbo BS, then saying "sorry, I was just thinking out loud". Based on what comes out, I'm guessing what stays in is quite intellectual....

I'm surrounded by 3 such females right now. 15 year old daughter, my wife and MIL. They'll blurt chit out like they're trying to guess the answer at charades. Makes no sense 70% of the time.

Yes, been there, confused by all of it. Talks a lot to herself, gets pissed if she actually said something to you and you were in tune out mode.

I once saw an elephant ejaculate in a circus ring slinging goo all over the bottom rows.

Don't know if it was 3 gallons worth.

Yep. My g/f of ten+ years blurts out sh1t like that all the time and then gets upset when I say "I'd like to buy a context clue, please."
She goes with the, "if you knew me, you would now what I am thinking" response.

It's one of the main reasons that after 10 years she's still just my "girlfriend".

Then it ain't just me. Whew!!!

The nature of the “beast”. 😁

On occasion when that happens I’ll have to say, “whoa, wait a minute. What are we discussing?”

How ‘bout changing the subject in the middle of a sentence? A couple of years ago we were driving down the interstate and she said something like, “Oh man, that’s an ugly color for a car have you seen neighbors’ new dog?” 😳😁

Don’t know what I’d do without her though. 😊

Try 50+ years of it. But Be Well, RZ.

50 years next summer 😊

Road hummers tend to mitigate the talking.

Men around me,
continually remind me,
how lucky I am.

Three of my dad's favorites:

Slight misunderstanding: She wants a big church wedding and he doesn't want one at all.

"She broke up with me - she said I didn't listen or something like that."

"I'm uncouth? I take you to fine restaurants and the opera - what the f*ck is this uncouth sh*t?"

A great philosopher once said that the universal correct answer to a woman in any situation is "I Understand".

After 50 years of marriage I finally leaned the truth of that.

Ignoring the questions don’t make them go away either.

That’s the worst thing you can possibly do.

"WTF are you talking about?" comes out of me often. The stream of consciousness thing is strong with my wife.

Then add hearing problems and talking through walls

I probably would have said body parts.

When my wife and daughter were planning her wedding, I tried to avoid too much involvement.

But one day I walked in the door and they were at it again- my wife looked up and asked "How long is an eight foot table?"

Dramatic pause..."Is this a trick question?"

Its just the voices in her head leaking out.

Two, or three gallons of lard.

What about when they dont say anything but think they did.......?

Theyre all nuts.

Some worse than others.

Worth about as much as a Baker treestand.

LOL

When women plan a wedding I learned to get out of the way and shut up.

Done...

After I found out what she actually wanted, that was the first thing that came to mind. I spent too much time packing them for Wilson Pack in Cherokee. As I recall, we shipped them all to Wilson and High Point, North Carolina. (Are they always packed in red tubs?)

Lol, For some reason I found that funny......

Please,don't even get me started,i've tuned them out over the years.I use my hearing loss as an excuse,"Sorry,what? I didn' t hear you.""What was that?" My wife and daughters haven't given up completely,but i'm getting there.

I’m not sure about the red tub, but, I once went into a home to give a bid for interior painting and someone was boiling chitterlings or tripe. All I know, it was guts, and smelled horrible.

Your in good company

And they will ask the question three different ways if they don’t like the answer they got the first time.

Funniest thread I've read in in a while.....after 2 marriages,

I gots nothing to contribute

Yeah, you're not to be involved in the planning, but expected to pay for what's cooked up.

That will teach her to ask.
