Let me preface this by saying I love my wife more than anything! Occasionally we will have discussions which either will begin or end something a little strange. Today, out of nowhere, she asked me "Have you ever noticed that Gimli(our cocker spaniel) and I sort of look alike?"
I've got nothing............

Long days and pleasant nights,

Some examples:
"Oh Honey, you and the guys are having so much fun! I'll get the dishes when I get back, you have fun."
That means:
"I'm leaving now. You'd better figure out how to get these clowns out of my house and have these *&^%! dishes done by the time I get home!"
Like that.
I think that other than keeping your bazoo shut, as recommended above, you could, if pressed, respond with something like:
"Oh, I saw on Yahoo the other day where owners look like their pets. Made me think 'Huh, I look like my pet goldfish Bubbles that I had when I was 9'. I NEVER thought about you and the dog, though..."
As safe as that sounds, though, she'll still probably burn you down for it. They're complex. Nothing is EVER what it seems.

As she goes tearing through the house, yelling "who took the broom! Where is the broom?"
Where you parked it?
That's the last thing I remember. LOL!
Or when you say so and so had a baby.
"What was it?
How,much did it weigh?
What did they name it?"
I don't know. I just know they had a baby.
"Well, why didn't you ask?"
Cause I'm not a nosey busy body?
Yeah, wrong answer again.
Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
At any given time the urge to sing "In The Jungle" is just a whim away... A whim away... A whim away...

I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
I nod,grin,and say yes dear.
An argument with a redhead can never be won.
You will find that their questions are rarely of the yes or no variety.
If they are, it is usually a trap.
Just dealing with getting dinner feels like jeapordy.
She asks what do want for dinner?
Whatever you are making.
But what are you hungry for?!
Food.
You are so aggravating! Why can't you just tell me what you want?
Ok. Lasagna.
I can't make that tonight.
Ok then, what can you make?
Well, what do you want to eat?
Every night, we go through this.

Finally went to the fridge & found something we had & asked for that ... and got something else instead.

me: "Where would you like to eat?"
Her: It doesn't matter!
me: " I name my favorite place"
Her: "Not there, somewhere else!"
me, "I name my other favorite"
Her: No not there somewhere else"
I discovered a bar in town named " Somewhere Else" so I pull up there and she say NOT HERE, and that's when the fight starts!
SOOOO, now I don't ask I just go where ever I want to go and no complaints yet!
"Sure", I reply, "what're you having?"
When she tells me I say "OOoh! I'll have that!"
And I get it, and she cooks something else for herself.

My wife speaks very quietly, even if I could hear I wouldn't hear her.
Has worked out very well, a nod here, a yes dear there, a very nice arrangement.
Things changed.
She put a chair next to my desk, and in the morning when I am having my first cup of Sumatra and my first 5 Vegas Gold she sits, she smiles and she speaks up. I found out the only things we disagree on is the pipeline and her bone head youngest son.
me: We are going to the Chicago Herf this year.
her: not if it is either the first or second week of December
me: f&%k
her: We are going to Milwaukee this June
me:
Guess I showed her!
