This is What I Have to Deal with on Daily Basis
Let me preface this with: I have a very intelligent wife. Some concepts just elude her grasp of understanding. Like the discussion we had on why 4 wheel drive doesn’t make it any easier to stop even though that it being called 4 wheel DRIVE and not 4 wheel STOP, should have given her a clue.
But I thought this conversation was amusing anyway – even though it will likely end up getting me in trouble, I think it may be worth it.
Me: Street view of our house
Amy: why is your truck there?
Me: what do you mean?
Me: that’s our house
Amy: i know-but isn’t it like a constant satellite image?
Me: yes, satellites are flying around at street level constantly taking pictures of our house
Amy: they have zoom
Me: they have detailed zoom that can take a 90 degree angle shot?
Amy: cool, huh?
Me: earth called, it would like you to come back now
We’ll see what kind of backlash comes from this. If I don’t live through it, I hope you enjoy it as my last gift to my half dozen or so readers.
