Is she really mine?

You are witnessing perfectly normal behavoiur for a female. A friend of mine asked one of his female employees to check the oil on a company vehicle, which she did.

She came back and said the oil needed topping up, so he pointed her in the direstion of a can of oil.

She topped it up OK. All the way until the oil overflowed out of the filler cap.......

Well you see, the real failing of women is that they believe what men tell them At some point a bloke has amusingly told her that's where you top up the 710

Many years ago my boyfriend was convinced that after any journey of significance it was imperative to top up the radiator. So, after passing my test I drove him home in my very first car He immediately got a milk bottle full of water (that's how long ago it was!) and lifted my bonnet

"Are you sure that's the radiator cap I ask ?" I mean, it didn't need a big press down and stand well back scenario. "yeah, yeah, of course " I get in his male, knowing tone

Thank goodness his mate turned up while he was doing it and before I drove anywhere. I was driving an air cooled 2CV
He had just poured a pint of water into my oil sump

and we're supposed to trust you guys

I once told my wife that it was "International Wear Sexy Knickers to Work Day", for charity like "Jeans for Genes".

Boy, was there trouble when she got home from work that evening!

Well, we were randomly discussing trivia a couple of nights ago, when I asked something idle like "how far away is the moon?" - the reply from my very well educated barrister girlfriend was "about 80 miles?"

She is still getting reminded of this every time I chuckle to myself. I tried to explain how that would look when you look up in the sky, but I don't think it's ever going to be ok.

Mind you, at least we're not related. That I know about, anyway

Digs.

She was probably only calculating a relative distance to the outer atmosphere based on understandable assumptions that distance could not be accurately deduced within the parameters of our limited knowledge of TARDIS and that if, in space no one can hear you scream, they probably can't hear the click on the little measuring wheel either

Or, considering that it is a vacuum, have anything to run the little measuring wheel against to produce the inaudible click...

Many years ago to my now wife.

Me: 'My mum has just got herself a wee dog.'

Wife : 'Whats she calling it?'

Me : 'Lady.'

Wife : 'Is it male or female?'


On a drive up Strath Spey along the whisky trail I made an observation.

Me : 'I've just noticed that all the distilleries seem to be on the right hand side of the road.'

Wife : 'Really! Why is that?'

Me : 'I have no idea, but the really weird thing is that on the way back all the distilleries are on the left hand side of the road.'

She spent most of the rest of the journey trying to work that one out. :-)

Mind you her nephew learned to dive a few years back, after his first dive he mentioned that his feet felt cold so I threw him a spare pair of thinsulate booties. He stares at them for a minute then asks if he puts them on over his drysuit boots. This from a guy who is just completing a MA in Physics. ???????????

If you handn't tried to con her into believing your knob was 12 inches, she'd probably have a better idea of distance

Of course the correct answer would have been for Digs to leap in and say " not too far for me to lasso it and bring it to you , my darling"
