Pluggers by Rick McKee for January 20, 2023

yikes

“Yes dear” is the most safe go-to response in these situations…..

I’ve heard woman have a memory bank in their head. They forget nothing.

A plugger is always in training by his wife!

There will be an exam or ‘pop-quiz’ in six months and your score better be 100% ! ! ! !

Every husband should have installed a pull-string that releases recorded standard safe replies to whatever his wife says: The perfect “Stepford Husband.”

Selective Memory …. Beware ;-)

Anything you say can and will be used against you …

Men develop selective listening. We pay attention to the important stuff. Keeps the divorce and murder rates down.

Yes ma’am, no ma’am. that’s my standard answer. I’m a man, I know I’m wrong. I’m just not sure which way….so I’m covering my bases………..

Wives also have the eyesight of an eagle, w/ photographic memory, the sense of smell of a shark with a data base of 3 gigabytes of reference odors on immediate recall and memory of an elephant w/ the same caacity data base; maybe even larger. The hearing has already been covered.

After 40 years of life coaching, I don’t know why I’m not perfect by now.

Selective listening, when it occurs all the time, is an insult. It is telling your spouse that they aren’t worthy of your attention. That you have no interest in their news, their problems, their ideas because they are trivial and boring. You are telling your spouse that they are just the housekeeper and child-minder and you have much more important things to do with your time.

Yeah, you’re listening, but you haven’t ‘heard’ a word she said.

To makes him to listens you has to says the magic words — picanic baskets.

A real plugger. His belt is linger than she is tall. Not all mature male pluggers are morbidly obese.

Indeed it is. Women and elephants never forget.

With instant replay no matter how long ago. Even the Google is no match..

Comedian Mitch Fatel has a routine about this.

Smartest thing a man ever says. “Yes, Dear.” I’ve been saying it from long before “plugging.”

the two most spoken words in a mariage. yes dear.

One of the best Pluggers

I married a man myself so we both just yes dear each other, the perfect marriage

Okay, Sam, what’s your major malfunction?

Oh, this one is outstanding! Nailed it, and how!

More like "anything you do or do not say can and will be used against you with no statute of limitations.

Another phrase could apply—“You have the right to remain silent.”

Around here the opposite is true. Whatever he wants to do or wants done is what we do. What he wants to eat for dinner is what we have. If he wants to eat out, we do. When he wants to go out to a store and waste time wandering around in it just to do something – we do. Right now we are watching reruns of “The Waltons” which he would never would watch when originally it was on, but now watches constantly – it is on TV when I wake up and is on TV when we going to bed – same episodes seem to be on both sets of reruns so we watch the same episodes within a day of having seen it. He wants to take a trip, so we take a trip.

If I say I need to stay home to get work done (I am still working part time from home – he was, but he stopped in 2019) and he wants to go out – out we go.
