My Funny Husband!

So we were at the petrol station today and we were buying $20 in petrol and needed to get a $20 top-up card for one of the cell phones. We have Virgin Mobile. When you top up your cell, you just tell the cashier how much you need, they enter it into the system and give you an activation code, bada-bing-bada-boom.

We walk up to the cash register and I swear to God, my husband says:

"Yeah, I'm pump 3 and I need a $20 Virgin."

I crack up. Dh looks at me and says:

"Card."

And to think all these years i've been with T-Mobile...time for me to go virgin too. :D

that was rich!

I must not get it, yeah I am new here....greetings all !

LOL @ Tim!!!!!

:p TOOOOO FUNNY.....

LOL Kel!

That's too cute, I can only imagine how hard you must have laughed!

Btw..I love the way you say you were at the "petrol station". Think Tim is rubbing off on you a bit?

LOL. I always forget to say 'sweater' I just can't get 'jumper' out of my head :D

haha - yes, I think we speak something best described as Ameriglish. We say petrol for gas and we say fries for chips... sometimes Tim now says "tomayto" and I glare at him when he says "soccer." He'll chuckle at me and say I sound like I'm from Birmingham when I ask if he's alright and I've grown to love Marmite (although I don't think I'll ever develop a taste for heinz baked beans in tomato - or is that tomahto? - sauce!)

LOL Kel!

A good rubbing off on my wife session???

YES PLEASE!! :p

I REFUSE to say soccer, but we have a weird thing going on where I slip into American english and she slips into 'proper' english. I actually got confused the other day, I couldn't remember which way I was supposed to pronounce a word... I can't remember what it was though.

My wife has created her own language and it is very entertaining. Here are a couple of examples.

During a rainy drive, she asked me to get the rain flippers (windshield wipers) replaced because they were streaking.

She noticed that a neighbors yard had finally been mowed after being long overdue and promptly told me "Look hon, he finally flattened the yard."

God, I love her. :D

Thanks for sharing the laugh!! When I first went to visit my b/f in England I asked him to pick up decaffeinated coffee and dairy creamer...He asked me where he could find it (chuckle). I told him ....Errr...In the 'DAIRY' section!!! So he calls me back and says....They don't have it!! I couldn't believe it!!! I had to bring the darn Hazelnut Coffeemate dairy creamer with me in my carry on bag.When I first brought my son to the UK, he noticed the Brit accent on the airline attendants. He said "Mom, they sound weird!!" I said "Honey, where we're going....everyone sounds like that..." Upon saying this a female airline attendant approaches my son and says to him..."EL-LOW!!" My son turns to me and says..."Mom, this is gonna be a strange trip!!" LOL. Dee :p

hehe - yeah, it was pretty funny; we're still chuckling about it...

Rob! We do that, too! Where we'll have to stop & think for a sec about who says what in which country!

lol - spenser, I like it! Your neighbors flattened their yard; that's perfect!

Passion8, have your YM say "taco" or "burrito" - they... uh... well, you know, Mexican food hasn't quite caught on across the pond yet (oh, they think it has... until they actually try true mexican cuisine!) The first time we went to Taco Bell (cause, yeah, they're real authentic :rolleyes: ), I cracked up when Tim asked about "tackos" and "burr-EYE-tos!" Of course, I find this little mexican food anecdote to be much more amusing than my husband does. No worries; he can always laugh about the time we were in mixed company and he had to explain to me what everyone meant when they were making jokes about their "bits!"
