A quickie




We are in different rooms. I am reading aloud from a Hollyhock catalog...

Me: Ooo, they have meditation classes. You like meditation.

Hubby:

Me: Do you want to "awaken joy"?

Hubby: Who's Joy? And why would I want to wake her up?

Me:

Hubby: I didn't even ask if "awaken" was one word or two.

Me: *pause* HEEEEYYY!

    I disagree. I think with the roundabout way, it's TWICE as bad.

    god, i'm slow. after thinking about this for like a minute, i finally decided the joke must be "a wake in," as in holding a wake for a dead person. and only when i realized that wouldn't work with "to" in front of it did i actually get it. sigh.

    I'm on sinus medication - so it took me a minute, too.

    Heh, heh, pretty funny!

    Mike:

    brad: It can always be worse.

    LiLu: That's it. Get him in trouble. ;)

    Mac and Cheese: He's really not trying to be subtle.

    Alice: It's easier to get if you hear it, rather than read it. Somethings don't translate well but, hey, I needed blog material.

    Drama Queen: Glad you thought so. :)

    I'm with Foggy. Either I'm not getting it, or everything I can think of is just not hitting my funny bone (and I doubt that).

    Awaken... awake in...

    Methinks you are over-thinking it.
