Unintentional spousal humor part II

Him: "Why is it that people say 'batshit' for crazy and not 'guano'?  They're the same thing." (Referring  here to Wonkette.com posts.)

Me: "Plosives."

Him: "What? Explosives?"

Me: "No. Words with syllabic bite. You know, like 'slut'.  Hammer syllables and hard stops are more effective when used in certain ways. Plus, if you're inwardly eight, like me, swearing gives you a frisson of glee. But a better question might be why people say 'batshit' and not 'catshit'."

Him:  *pause*  "I guess. Hey, do we have a special knife for cutting up eggplant?"

Me: "Nope."

Him: "Well, can you do it? Because the skin feels like skin and it''s like I'm doing an autopsy over here."

Me: "You're making dinner and you bring up bat crap, but the skin on an eggplant grosses you out?"

Him: "I know, right?"

Yeah! He does this to everyone.

He says he doesn't remember asking you that question. I'm not surprised. And he's claiming I'm the weird one. (When he said batshit he was not referring to anyone in particular, btw, but an online discussion elsewhere.)

It's like being married to Rain Man. Time for Wapner!

HE IS weirder than you and that's saying something.

That reminds me... are you going to that Valentine's event in Joisey?

I have never been to one of those convention-style partythings.

NO

The kids have sports shit to do and A is working. Maybe comicon or something. Where is that --- in Atlanta?

Uhh... DragonCon? I wouldn't go unless certain people plan to be there. (Not you, but that would be a plus.)

And I will not wait in line for two hours to touch Marsters' hand, so you're on your own with that worshipfulness.

(Though I would wait in line for a dirty shag up against the wall, I admit.)

...adding that I would have to be first in line because I don't want your sloppy seconds. Ew.
