“I’m going fishing.”
Really means: “I’m going to stand by a stream with a stick in my hand all day, while the fish swim by in complete safety.”
“It’s a guy thing.”
Really means: “There is no rational thought pattern connected with it, and you have no chance at all of making it logical.”
“Can I help with dinner?”
Really means: “Why isn’t it already on the table?”
“Uh-huh.” “Sure, honey.” “Yes, dear.”
Really means: Absolutely nothing. It’s a conditioned response.
One Liner
I received another letter from some lawyer yesterday. It had “Final Notice” written on the envelope. Good. They won’t be bothering me anymore.
