A Recent Conversation with My Wife

Posted by Anonymous On 2:43 AM

As we were getting ready for my in-laws to come into town today, the following was said:


Beeki: It wouldn't kill you to do the dishes!


And that got me thinking...


Cach: (Thinking) Really? But what if it would? What if doing the dishes would kill me? I mean, I appreciate her confidence in my safety, but could she live with herself if it did kill me? She'd be crushed by the guilt! I love her too much to let that happen. I'm such a good husband.


You'll all be pleased to know that I'm alive and well today. But now that the most recent poll has shown us that the undead are the cause of my allergy problems, perhaps we should determine the relative risks involved in doing the dishes. Thank you for your input.

    You know, this isn't the first time you've mentioned Beeki asking you to do the dishes in a blog. I've seen it a few times in the past two years. I'm sure she asks you many more times than you mention in the blog. So instead of determining the relative risks of doing the dishes, consider rather the benefits of doing the dishes.

    Benefit #1: Doing the dishes BEFORE she asks = major brownie points/extremely happy wife.

    Benefit #2: Doing the dishes when she least expects it especially when there's no company coming over = complete and utter elation from the wifey.

    I can totally relate to Beeki's frustration because I've had two consecutive roommates who apparently think the bathroom will eventually clean itself.

    Hey! I do the dishes! Ask Beeki. While she was in rehearsals for her thesis she came home to a clean empty sink every night. Back me up, baby.

  6. Bibb Leo File Said,

    Dishes are for chumps!

    If you leave them in the sink long enough, the stink will always overcome the ladies before it does the dudes.

    Somehow, that theory does not apply to the trash, however...

    There's truth in what you say, Bibb. Dangerous dangerous truth. I reference this conversation.

  8. Douglas Said,

    Doing the dishes more often will result in less eating out. Less contact with the undead = fewer allergy problems. Less eating out = fewer chances for sticking a straw into the back of one's throat.

    Conclusion: Hands down, doing dishes is far less damaging to your physical health.
