Couldn't find any thread to post this.....Temporarily closed our E-Bay store (10 days) got me thinking of reasons why we needed to put store on pause.
1)Wife has a cold. She runs the packing dept.
2)Wife has a cold. She runs packages to PO.
3)Wife has a cold. She maintains the list of where the inventory is.
But most important reason.
Wife has a cold. Limited to no food production in the KItchen.
Thus ..I decided to put the store on hold until I have eaten enough to have the strength to reopen the store.
So my wife says to me, "You didn't listen to a word I said!"
I thought, hmm...that's a funny way to start a conversation.

I already fact-checked this back when it was posted the first time! They also wouldn’t have been called “The British” back then.
What would they have been called?

A New York attorney representing a wealthy art collector called his client.
"Saul, I have some good news, and I have some bad news."
The art collector replied, "I've had an awful day. Give me the good news first."
The lawyer said, "Well, I met with your wife today, and she informed me that she just invested $5,000 in two pictures that she thinks will bring a minimum of $15 million to $20 million, and I think she could be right."
Saul replied enthusiastically, "Well done! My wife is a brilliant businesswoman! You've just made my day. Now I know I can handle the bad news. What is it?"
The lawyer replied, "The pictures are of you and your secretary."
Wow, that brought back memories from high school when we put on Arthur Miller's play, "The Crucible." Here I am pictured on the cover of the Playbill as I tower over one of those accused as a witch.
The retired man’s wife had been after him for several weeks to paint the seat on their toilet.
Finally, he got around to doing it while the wife was out.
After finishing, the he left to take care of another matter, hoping to get back before the wife returned.
But wouldn't you know it, before the he could get back, the wife came in and undressed to take a shower.
Before getting in the shower, though, the wife sat on the toilet.
As she tried to stand up, she realized that the not-quite-dry epoxy paint had glued her to the toilet seat.
About that time, her husband got home and realized her predicament.
He was warned not to laugh or she wouldn’t visit him in the hospital - where he was sure to end up if he so much as smiled.
So to break her free they both pushed and pulled without any success whatsoever.
Finally, in desperation, he undid the toilet seat bolts.
The wife wrapped a sheet around herself and her husband drove her to the hospital emergency room.
The ER Doctor got her into a position where he could study how to free her.
The lady, being the trooper she was after 17 years of marriage, tried to lighten the embarrassment of it all by saying,.......
"Well, Doctor, I'll bet you've never seen anything like this before."
The Doctor replied,........
"Actually, I've seen lots of them. I just never saw one mounted and framed."
The doctor is now a patient in the hospital.
My wife accused me of being immature so I told her to get out of my fort.
.
When my boss asked me who was stupid, me or him, I told him he doesn’t hire stupid people.
Sadly, I'm old enough to know exactly what it is (was).

I've heard it before though - When I asked "Honey, can I go to the bar tonight?" She said - "SURE, " That stopped me dead in my tracks!
