My wife and I went t to Wal-Mart to buy a plunger. The greeter says, “Hi. How are you today?”
I said. “Great. But I’m backed up.”
Greeter says. “I’m sorry. I’m sure the pharmacist to the right can help you.”
I said. “Nope it’s pretty bad. I need a plunger.”
My wife says to the greeter.
“Just ignore him.”
You would think after 45 years of marriage that my wife would allow me to have a conversation without her interrupting.
Like Roger Dangerfield used to say. “I get no respect.”

I don't know why, but I'm reminded of this one:
Wife texts husband on a cold winter morning: "Windows frozen, won't open."
Husband texts back: "Gently pour some lukewarm water over it and then gently tap edges with hammer."
Wife texts back 10 minutes later: "Computer really messed up now."
Thanks for the laugh, Frank. Glad you're feeling better, Brad.

Mis understandings are a part of life. We should celebrate them, and just laugh.

Good one. I actually laughed out loud.
Jaytex, your story reminded me of the time I spent hours on the phone with tech-support trouble-shooting my in-laws' slow internet connection. Near the end of the call, while the issue was still unresolved, I casually mentioned, "I'm not sure it's relevant, but my wife thought the intertubes might be clogged so she put some draino in the port on the back of the modem."
I got a real chuckle as the guy tried to find a way to politely tell me that was probably a really not-good idea.

Great story Frank, but you just don't strike me as the kind of guy who wouldn't already have at least a couple of plungers around the house.

The greeter was probably just glad you weren't looking for one of those coiled rooter implements. Probably made the greeter's day, something to talk about.
