Great Hites 39 Delayed

My personal life is spiraling out of control. My day job is becoming a day and night job, so this weeks Great Hites is going to be delayed. I am sorry, I really am. I will try to get it done this weekend.

In the words of Forest Gump, "That is all I have to say about that."

No, I am not like some podcasters who would Rick Roll you at this point. I am just going to say I will keep going but will need to delay this week.

Turning on the Sarcasm light!

I think I need to find some way to make my sarcasm light project out via the internet. As you might have guessed I have angered some people by making sarcastic remarks and having people take me seriously.

For those of who know me, you know that sarcasm is my M.O. In fact, earlier this year when my wife and I renewed our vows, more on that later, The priest got to the part about love is not sarcastic, or nagging. My lovely wife and I smiled lovingly at each other, and then in the ride home we burst out laughing, and agreed that cutting out those two things would cut down on 50% of our conversations.

Seriously folks, if I am angry or frustrated with something you are saying, you will know it. I promise, more than likely by my lack of response. If I don't know you well, and I don't like something you are saying, I will more than likely just ignore you.

Now before you think that my wife and I are rude or truly nagging each other, I have included this typical conversation:

"have you seen my green socks?"
"Did you look in the laundry room?" <---- sarcastic tone here.
"Really the laundry room?" <---- sarcastic tone here.
"Yes, I know it might be a surprise that laundry might be there." <---- sarcastic tone here.
"You know the other place laundry could be would be the bed room." <--- nagging tone here.
"You know you are welcome to arrange that with the laundry fairy." <--- nagging tone here too.
"We have one of those? Is that in the budget? because I didn't see a line item for that."
"When was the last time you looked at the budget."
"good point, thanks honey, found them."

This is a big joke in our house due to the number of children we have and the amount of laundry they can generate. So as much as it sound like we are being rude, we are both laughing here.

P.S. we are good friends with the Priest have a feeling he made sure to use that line to see if he could make us both crack up.
