My wife just called me a "geek"!
« on: August 02, 2009, 12:25:54 AM »
Because I laughed at this joke I found online:

Quote
In the beginning, at the time of the great flood, Noah went thru his ark after it landed, and found two small snakes huddled in a corner. Noah looked at these poor specimens - and said "I told you to go forth and multiply - why haven't you?"

The poor snakes looked up at Noah and replied "We can't because we are adders....."

Noah looked a bit perplexed, and then proceeded to tear bits of planking from his ark. He went on to build a beautiful wooden platform. He gathered up the snakes and placed them on the platform, and joyfully told the snakes - "Now go forth and multiply, because even adders can multiply on a log table"

Was that wrong of her to call me a geek??  :rolleyes:

Yes she was wrong.

The term is "nerd".   :laugh:

No doubt!  Her normal terms for me begin with either an "A" or a "B".  I noted the use of "geek" for being milder than normal.  And for the circumstances.
