Bug Eyed Footballer


Conversation at the kitchen table:

Me: (looking at my work schedule) I'm working with D--- tonight, ugh.

Cute Hubby's friend: What's wrong with that?

Me: He's a football player. He's the only person that I work with who doesn't get my sense of humor. Every one else laughs at my jokes, because of course, they're funny. But D--- just looks at me all bug eyed.

CH's friend: How about if I go in and ask him if anyone ever told him he was bug eyed? Would that help?

Me: No! Don't do that!

CH's friend: Why not? What's he going to do, tackle me?

Cute Hubby: Hey, you don't know that he won't. Maybe he's one of those guys who's only response to a situation he can't handle is to tackle.

silence.

Me: Just don't do it.

Maybe the bug-eyedness comes from a few too many hits to the head!

hahhahahah this is brilliant! You need to compile all your conversations that you have with CH, CH's friend and all your family and friends into a book. I mean it, they are fabulous and funny!
Darling I hope work with bug eyed footballer goes well.

You are fabulous, he is not. Hence why he does not get your humor! ;o)
