Were were watching "It's a Wonderful Life" yesterday. At Xmas Eve dinner I spoke mostly in my Jimmy Stewart voice "P-p-p-ass the pota-toes, will ya?". Kimberly almost killed me.

LOL!!! You inspired me for our Christmas dinner...we always have green-bean casserole [sp?], because my sister-in-law is a vegetarian. I can't stand the look of it, so I put the plate as far away from my end of the table as possible, proclaiming [in a young George Bailey voice], "it's poison, I tell you, it's poison!"

Yeah, it's amazing how our wives usually have the least amount of patience when we try to be funny [probably because they've heard it so many times].

Here's what led to the biggest "elbow-to-the-ribs" that I've ever received: when Gwen and I were dating, we were in line at a grocery store. Here was the conversation:

Gwen: "You know what you need for your apartment?"
Me: "What?"
Gwen: "A caulender"
Me: "I already have one"
Gwen: "No you don't"
Me: "Yes I do"
Gwen: "No you don't...I know everything in your apartment, and you don't have one"
Me: "Yes, I know for a fact that I have one"
Gwen: "OK....then where is it?"
Me: "It's hanging on the kitchen wall....it says November right now"

The girl at the cash register thought it was funny. Gwen, however, called me a dork and gave me a nasty elbow. Our wives just never appreciate our humor.
