Oct 24
We were standing in line at the grocery store when I noticed the latest cover of that bastion of journalistic integrity, The Enquirer. “William Renounces Throne,” I read out loud. “Prince chooses love over monarchy.” I snorted. “Yeah, sure. Like he’s gonna give up being King so he can marry Kate whatshername.”
My wife sensed an opening and went for it. “Are you telling me,” she asked, “that if you were heir to the monarchy and we were dating, you wouldn’t give up the throne for me?”
I didn’t miss a beat. “Of course I would, dear. In a heartbeat. But not all guys are like me.” Sidestep, pirouette and bow.
And that, my friends, is how you dance.

Wow. Now that was a nice move!

Yeah, I don’t really believe it myself. Even she had to smile and say “Good catch!”

Please, just spare us any photos of you in your leotard.

Okay, okay. It’s too bad, though - the color matches my eyes, and…
I’ve said too much, I think.

Still reeling from the last post, so must agree, Wolf, not all guys are like you….

You’re too kind. Just bringing a little surrealism to everybody’s day…

Fred Astaire couldn’t have done it better.

Astaire has nothing on me. Just please don’t call me ‘Twinkletoes.’

Oh Wolf….you have sooo much to learn. Do you REALLY think you got one past your wife? I’m going to ask you this question in 10 years or after 5 serious arguments which ever happens first….because trust
me on this one….she’ll remember.

But… but… she smiled! She said “Good catch!” My footwork was impressive!
Oh, poo.
Nice to see you here, by the way!

Well played. I bow to that kind of genius.

You know, guys may say “Bravo!” but when women tell me it was well-played, it means more. Kind of like the enemy saying “You have fought bravely and well” just before he/she wipes you off the map.
Thanks for visiting!

I hope your eyes don’t twitch when you lie. Wives, lovers, and IRS agents all seem to be able to scope out a person’s “tell” that is a near-perfect lie detector test.
When I lie, I usually start talking as a caricature Swede: “Ya sure, snookums, I’d pick you over any crown, you betcha.”

I’m sorry, but I can’t tell you what my giveaway is. She reads this thing, you know.
/resolving never to talk like a Swede again

OK, I’ve just got two questions for you…
Do you think this blog comment makes me look fat?
Do you think Katewhatshername is attractive?
(Warning: that’s meant to be a test)

Of course it doesn’t.
Kate who?
(How’d I do?)

Nice wolf! You’ve been studying a long time for this exam, haven’t you?
