Wow...I totally missed that one. Nice pickup bnb. I believe that Jeff was merely saying that his wife is really cool about it when he messes up. Not that I can speak for Jeff...but that's just my guess.
My parents had to go through the same thing when my dear old Mom got food poisoning, passed out and broke her nose. They just kept a good sense of humor about it and pressed on. At least for you guys you weren't on the phone, so an operator could cause you a real headache (not to say the shiner didn't hurt)
My wife bruises very easily. Plus she is very accident prone. She gets bruises on her arms and legs all the time and she doesn't even know where they came from. Last year she wasn't looking where she was going and walked right into a full sized window (others had done this before and after at the window so I didn't make fun of her too much). When she hit the window she got a big lump on her head. I got all kinds of looks. We just laughed it off. I go through this alot. Our firends and us used to play "dirt volleyball", back when we lived in the country. She was covered in bruises from hitting the ball, diving etc. She wore shorts and short sleeves to class once and a professor saw the bruises and aked her if there was "anything you would like to talk about". I guess there are unforseen drawbacks to your girlfriend / wife being a tomboy. Just laugh it off.
Jeff, I say you should get a shirt that says: (front)I don't beat my wife... (back)...I beat anybody who gives me that look, so stop staring. have some fun with it while you can , cuz it's not likely to happen too often...or is it?
Don't call any overly affeminite men "****" over a card game and you should be just fine. Get well soon, Mrs. WB.
Jeff, You have nothing to worry about UNLESS you were wearing one of those white tanktop shirts (can't remember the name for them - something like wife beaters but not sure). Seriously, I hope that Mrs. JB gets to feeling better. It is no fun because I am not feeling good myself. Granted, I don't have a black eye, but a pretty nasty sinus infection. Finally got some medicine, so maybe I'll be better by the end of this weekend.
Jeff, In that situation, right when I notice a curious look I would disarm them by saying something like, "She sassed me one time too many! "
Man I new that interview of you the other day made you look scary now I have confirmation . Seriously though I heard a story on the radio this am about a family in Kentucky(I think) that took some photos to be developed at walmart. One of the photos was of the lady's daughter swimming with her top off in the family pool. The picture also showed her father in the pool with her. Now before you pervs get all excited the girl was 3 years old. when the lady went to pick up her photos the Walmart Manager confronted her and brought her into the store offices. She was grilled for an hour or so before they released her. Not sure where I really stand on this but in a way I am glad Walmart is looking out for child molesters. As a teacher I am required by law to report any signs of abuse. If I do not I can be sued or prosecuted. On the other hand it should have been simple for her to explain and she probably should not have been detained for 1 hour. I believe she has a suit against them for false imprisonment. So I guess my point is at least you did not go to wally World and get harrased for spousal abuse. CK
Jeff, I have been thinking about this non-stop for the past 24 hours, and you'll be happy to see that I've come up with the perfect solution... That's right... You need to give your own self an even bigger shiner. You could even develop a Brad Pitt style alter ego to help yourself hit yourself, and Mrs. JB probably wouldn't complain about a Brad Pitt style alter ego anyway. Whew, I feel so much better having solved this tricky problem!
