2 Snapshots
From the drive up to Wisconsin, where the wife and I spent a delightful weekend with family, blissfully out of cell phone coverage...
1.
(Passing a pickup truck)
TW: "Hey, G-d's pro-life. Isn't that great?"
Me: "Where's that?"
TW: "Bumper sticker on that truck."
Me: "If G-d's pro-life, why did He invent death?"
2.
(Passing a sign that read "Gusty Winds on Bridge")
TW: "Hey, this bridge has gusty winds. 'Gusty Winds' sounds like it wants to be a stripper name but isn't."
Me: "That's... so... right..."

I feel it's important that I clarify that, if I *did* say, "Isn't that great?" (which I suspect I did not), it would have been said in a tone of sarcasm just barely veiling seething outrage.
I figured the 5 people who read this all know you well enough to realize. And you did say, "Isn't that great," and it didn't veil anything. I'd call it sarcastic underscoring.
You can make it 6 people who read this from time-to-time now. :)
She lets you call her "The Wife"?! I have completely underestimated your powers and abilities!

Well, she lets me call her the wife in the blog. It's all about choosing your battle locales.
