    Pointless, useless post for editing purposes!

    Why aren't the numbers on the bottom corresponding with the numbers on top? I double checked it.

    Good gravy man, well here, numbers 1-10 are the questions, and numbers 11-20 are the answers.

    My wife knows about Josh Allen. She listens to me that’s about it. Ask her how many stitches per square inch on Louis Vuitton purse or the 93 colors of red that match with $500 shoes she’ll tell you everything you want to know.
    Moral, we know Jack squat about women. Women know we want beer, food, sex and football.

    They’re not even from Mars. It was Gods way of punishment for men every where. Can’t live with them, can’t bury them under the house.
    I love my wife dearly. We found each other late in life and have only been married 2 years. But from my years of failure, 2 marriages, 3 more long time relationships I have found the secret to a happy life, happy wife.
    Move closer kids and I’ll tell you. Two words. “Yes dear” and you’ll be deemed a genius for life.

    Yes, that is the key to a happy marriage, "yes ma'am."

    My wife also knows who Urban Meyer is, I made sure of that. I can't live with a woman who doesn't know who he is.

    Of course, every now and then I have to stage an uprising against my wife when I need to protest something that I feel is unfair, steak was overcooked, hogging the TV remote, etc. That's when I break out the "no Ma'am" uniform and take it to the streets!

    Blueberry pie for dessert again, we just had that last night, I'm taking it to the streets!

    My wife is the absolute best! We met 25 years ago as opponents in a co-ed softball league. She was a left handed catcher on the other team and I would razz her about it every trip to the plate I made. We blossomed eventually to where we are today years later! She is very athletic, and ran cross country in college and has a knowledge of sports I would put up against anyone! She's my best friend!

    I would say equally when it comes to the Michael Jordan & Babe Ruth questions.

  • LandrysFedoraLandrysFedora Posts: 1,753 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I could confidently say she would ace that quiz then ask me what kind of silly questions are those! lol

    Ah yes, the question for that one was "what number did Michael Jordan wear" and my wife said number 43, that was one of the questions she missed, she actually did better than I thought she would, she got 7 out of 10 correct. I thought she would get maybe 2 or 3 correct, but she surprised me!

    Weird But True..... Sunday morning before the Ram/Giants game, The Lovely Mrs.Hydrant got decked out in her in her Ram jersey, Ram shoes, Ram earrings, Ram necklace, and Ram hat! ....and then....she didn't watch the game. Instead, she spent the whole time in the sewing room with Hydrantettes Jenny and Nicole. Halloween! Why????? She told me that she couldn't watch the game because, "I feel so sorry for that Daniel Jones.....I can't look.". NFL-ESP.

    Yes, those were my wife's answers, she thought Jimmy Johnson was the owner, so she got that one wrong. She answered 7 out of 10 correctly which was a bit of a shock to me because I thought she would only get 2 or 3 correct. She's very mysterious and smarter than I thought, but I can be very sneaky, and I still know how to steal money from her purse undetected. 🙄

    DD, God help you if she ever catches you. Put extra money in once and awhile. If she counts, it'll drive her nuts.

    I have to be VERY careful, she's made it clear that if she ever catches me, she'll break my thumbs.

  • craig44craig44 Posts: 10,393 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have taught my wife all about one Thomas Edward Patrick Brady. I figured all the other sports stuff was unimportant in comparison. she would have gotten number 4 correct. If she didnt get that one correct, I would be forced to leave her.

    I couldnt live with a woman who doesn't know everything there is to know about Tommy

    George Brett, Bobby Orr and Terry Bradshaw.

    prior to meeting my girlfriend, she didn't know jack pop tarts about golf. now it's just plain scary how much she knows. occasionally i'll receive a random text at work along the lines of, "did you know that Jordan picked up a half-stroke on the field by virtue of his putting in last week's tournament?"

    it's like a frightening turn-on
