damn!

I thought I would try to give another nice Christmas gift to my Russian bride. So last week after reading the many other good gifts that you guys were giving your brides, it gave me inspiration to get her one of these other many good gifts you guys had mentioned. But which one? I had it narrowed down to these three gifts, but which one to choose from.

Then I got this bright idea. Heck, I would get her two of the three gifts! Bound to be a big hit that way, couldn't go wrong, right?

So there we are Christmas morning, un-wrapping gifts. I am keeping one eye on Natalia as she un-opens her gift, hoping to see her eyes gleem with joy as she see's her gift. Then she opens the little package wrapped in red. Opens the envelope, reads it and says to me, "What is this, this must be some type joke, what is this gift certificate to Natahsa Jungle Tatoos?"  "You think I will wear tatoo" she hollers, and starts ranting and raving about how no good Russian woman will ever be caught with tatoo and this and that. So, quick thinking as I am, I said no Natalia, it is mistake, that gift certificate was meant for my ex-wife.

"Ohhh", ok, it was mistake" she said. That seemed to have worked for the time being as she then proceeded to unwrap her next gift. She stuggles a bit in unwrapping the picture framed size gift and finally get's it open. She then begins to read the Christmas poem by Yoe that I copied and framed. After reading Yoe's poem, she set the framed copy down on the coffee table, picked up the gift certificate and said "Ok, let's go to Natasha's Jungle Tatoo".

Vagn, I don't know what you look like. I was trying to figure out what went with, "If you believe that story", so I should apologize.

Let me ask you to finish the sentence,.....If you believe that story  ?

you: if you X you're Y-er than you look.

me: how do you know how Y I look?

IT'S A JOKE!
not a very good one, I guess.

See, the thing that makes it funny, or that would
make it funny if it was a good joke and not so lame,
is that "how do you know how Y I look" makes it sound
like I think you somehow can see me when I'm sitting
at the computer.  But I know you  can't, and I know that
you know I know you can't, and you know I know you know,
etc, ad inf.   It is an attempt at the facetious
through fatuity.  Which in the extreme might work.
But, apparently didn't.  Or to put it succinctly:

IT'S A JOKE!
And your joke was better.

Planning anything special for Apr. 1?

Why yes, I was thinking about getting her either an over the range microwave or a frying pan.

My rant: Although frying pan's are much cheaper, they can also be used as weapons. Thus I would factor in her temperment when deciding!

An over the range microwave can be quite lethal as well if she sneakss up on you with it.......
