SoâŚIâve got this arbor Vaugenhausen (sp?) that has been the deck for 2 boards, I wanted to rebuild it so I started sanding and stripping, then fill in the holes with wood filler, sand, clear coat, CF on the bottom, regrip the top, blah blah blah. I got the sanding and stripping done and said frig it, Iâm tired.
Later that night, in bed with the wife and she says âwhy do you smell like vanilla?â. My response, though not carefully considered was accurate. I said âI donât know, the stripper smelled like orange.â
Approx .05 seconds later I felt a girly punch in the kidney and I was âWTF womanâ. Then I realized I didnât say paint stripper.
So after explaining and realizing my wife is a nut case about some things we had a good laugh, but I donât think Iâm gonna sleep well for awhile .
Lol. Nicely done. I would have said that to my wife on purpose just for her reaction⌠And promptly would have gotten a vicious poking or nipple pinching. Worth it.
My wife would have simply exclaimed âCookie!â with a gravelly mock-angry voice because we call each other Cookie and I joke like that a lot so she pretends to be angry about it.
lol, I dig that. I often reply âMy girlfriend wouldnât do thatâ when the wife says I cant have cake or spend 20 grand on a boatâŚbut I said the stripper thing with no humor so I guess she thought I was serious, but all is good ).
Haha @mmaner⌠my uncle bob was a painter and decorater for 40 years and at his retirement party my dad told him âwe got you a stripper bobâ!
He waited in excitement and a few beers later asked whereâs my stripper then martinâŚmy dad handed him a tin of paint stripper lol
.
I would then have .05 seconds to get my story straight!! LOL
