Hi All! I'm back!
Genius said to me, "We just can't be together. We have fundamental differences."
Me: Really? What are these fundamental differences?
Genius: "For one, you don't like horror movies."
Me: Actually I said they scare me.
Genius: "So of course that means you don't like them. We could never watch them."
Me: When did you want to watch one?
Genius: "Well I know I probably did at some point in the last 12 years. And you did not let me. So I am mad now."
Me: I see. Are there other fundamental differences we have?
Genius: "Damn don't be so obtuse. Of course there are."
Me: OK, what are they?
Genius: "Well, you don't like storms and I do."
Me: I see. And what makes you think I don't like them?
Genius: "Well, you slept througth the one when the tree fell on the house."
Me: You weren't even home that night.
Genius: Well if I had been, I would not have slept through that probably. I would have been sexually aroused by the storm because that is what happens to us free spirits. And you didn't even try to stop it. Look at the money that cost the insurance co.
Me: I see. You expected me to have been awake for a 3am Microburst, be sexually aroused while alone and prevented a 50ft tall pine tree from falling on the house all in the 4 minutes it took the storm to go through the area?
Genius: Yes, if you valued our home. You never even tried. That is why I love storms and you don't.
Me: And when did you become a free spirit?
Genius: I have always been one.
(This from the man who goes to bed at the same time everyday no matter what, eats the same dinner 5 of 7 days a week, awakens at the same time everyday, has a Monday, Tuesday, etc suit, writes daily lists of things to do, complained the night before that going to the movies was not on his list of things to do so could not be done, works out at the same time everyday, and complained I am too spontaneous. Yep a real free spirit there.)
The next sound was the dial tone. He hung up because I was being obtuse and stupid.
if people won’t listen to you, there’s no point in talking to people. If they won’t listen, you’re just banging your head against a wall.
Sadly Ive used up all the time I had allotted to spend banging my head on the wall
