Speaking in code.

I'm really terrible with names and proper nouns, to the point where people get offended when I can't remember what to call them. I've learned to compensate somewhat either by repetition or just avoiding names all together. It must of been all the dope my parents smoked back in the 60's that addled my embryonic brain.

So these days when talking to my wife, I use my own code words when trying to describe something to her and she usually knows what I'm trying to say.
..........................................................................................................................
Hammer: Hey, lets go to that place with the good asparagus.

Wife: What place is that?

Hammer: You know...uhhh I think it's called dickhead marys or something.

Wife: you mean P.F. Changs?

Hammer Yeah that's it.
...............................................................................................

Wife: Did anyone call for me when I was gone?

Hammer: Yeah, cock eater called but I told him to try you on your cell.

Wife: Cock eater number one or number two?

Hammer: The one with the drug problem.

Wife: That would be my brother Jeremy

Hammer: Yeah cock eater that was him who called.
......................................................................................................
Wife: do you want anything from the store?

Hammer yeah..ummm can you get some of those crispy ass nuggets?

Wife: Our store doesn't sell them. Do you want me to go to the Walmart?

Hammer: Shit.. just get those smokey butt plugs and I'll put barbecue sauce on them and make do.
...................................................................................................

Wife: Where should we take junior for his birthday?

Hammer: Hmm is Kneel and Bob's still open?

Wife: Dave and Busters? That place is expensive.

Hammer: Yeah you're right, how about Dildo Babes? You know the one with the vermin..

Wife: Isn't he a bit old for Chuck E Cheeses?

Hammer: Shhh he doesn't know that.

It's our 17th wedding anniversary this weekend. We went and had sushi last night and saw Batman. Tonight We'll probably have the nephew watch the kids and we'll go see a movie, then to the martini bar for some live music and cigars.

Have a good weekend everyone.

I speak in code too, and it cracks my husband up but he knows what I'm saying.

I think code speaking is a guy thing... my dad and brothers do the exact same thing... and we can all interpret... I'd like to be someone else listening in sometimes.... and now I was!

I definetely is a gender thing. We guys are not with the capacity or the brain cells to remember the "unimportant" things in life. Now batting percentages or passing completions, that we remember...

Happy 17th anniversary Hammer !

Code exists between husband and wife, best friend to best friend, and parent to child when they are young :)

You a funny guy!

If I can't remember a name, "Hey Dick" usually works.

(One guy said "I'm not Dick" and I told him "You're a Dick now!" I don't think he appreciated it, but everyone else thought it was funny.)

Congrats on 17! Enjoy the kid less time. I know it is few and far between.

Damn, I'm a poet and didn't know it.

Happy Anniversary!
Psychic abilities come naturally in a good marriage. I love your versions...Gary only comes up with "yer man" "that woman" but our kids were always astounded that I would give an answer before he'd finished the question.
Gary can never remember names - even those of good friends - I have to coach him constantly. When he runs into people, they are "Bud" and "Love" or "Darlin"

Hammer,

Was my post that bad? You had to remove it?

Happy Anniversary and may you be Blessed with Many more. My wife and I barely have to talk anymore. Babe will you, and magically a glass of tea appears, or Sweetie don't forget, and I get up and dutifully take out the trash. (She was getting on my nerves anyway)

Congrats again Bud, it takes hard work and commitment, or I don't care and cases of Jack Daniels....either way it works...

Cheers,

J
