She said: “Are you ignoring me?”
He said: “No, dear. But I am paying attention to something else.”
She said: “Wait a minute. I thought we already had this established. I am the center of your universe and all your attention revolves around me.”
He gave her that look and queried, “Never heard of Galileo, huh?”
She answered: “Galilei Galileo? I believe I may have heard the name somewhere. What’s he got to do with this?”
He answered, “Well, dear, Galileo, a very long time ago, discovered the the sun is the center of the universe — mine and everyone else’s.”
She raised her eyebrows. “Galileo was wrong,” She said. “The daughter is the center of the universe and she is me.”
He said, “Oh, brother.”
She said, “Sister!”
A good pun! My father made-up a blurb for a seaside town once; it said ‘Good for the sun and heir’. I thought it was quite clever.
Brenda — in this house, we throughly enjoy our puns.
You can see how he wound up in prison.
Doug — indeed. Btw way, you turned up in this conversation, too. As in, “I can’t say Doug didn’t warn me …” I’ve heard Amoeba’s explanation for that crack. Now let’s hear yours.
Presumably, any man willing to explain that comment already has your fingers around his throat. There’s a whole ocean separating you from my explanation.
Only one?
They aren’t that easy to come by.
haha. CUTE!

Gigi — we have a lot of these conversations at our house. The tag is “he said-she said” and it will call up some gems!
You guys just manage to crack me up any given time
Will do the listening tomorrow, am still too tired and my Internet’s a b****

Nicole — there is usally a lot of laughter at our house.
Can She please come over and explain things to my husband?
Please???
.-= Susan at Stony River´s last blog ..Washing up glass, writing for scholarships =-.
Yes. Send a round trip ticket.
Simple science becomes complex in the hands of a woman ignored.
.-= Dr. John´s last blog ..Raven’s Challenge 74 =-.
Dr. John — no, it remains eminently simple: don’t ignore me!
Very clever.
Sometimes we just want ATTENTION!!!!

Thom — so what’s your point?
You guys just crack me up. You are both so quick witted!
.-= Church Lady´s last blog ..Fun Monday – What’s Cookin’? =-.
Church Lady — ah, but you only get to hear about the successfully silly conversations, not the ones that went awry and mired down in “whats” and “huhs” and finally ended in, “Oh, never mind!”
A far better debating method than Galileo and his Simplicio. I’ll quote Galileo’s final words leaving court: ‘Eppur si muove,’ (I think the spelling’s right) – but it moves, just the same.
.-= Anthony North´s last blog ..CONCENTRATION =-.
There appears to be an argument over whether it’s “E pur si muove” or “Eppur si muove” (the latter, I’m told, is the more phonetic spelling), but the point remains the same. Sounds like we’d better get to Susan at Stony River’s husband before Quilly does.
.-= the amoeba´s last blog ..The Mitchell Blues (The Curse of the Mannino – Update) =-.
Amoeba — and when you get to Susan’s husband, you be sure to tell him that if he likes his meals cooked for him, his laundry washed, folded and put away, and breakfast, lunches and assorted beverages to arrive at his desk or on the table in a timely manner and with no effort of his own, he needs to keep his mate convinced that she’s the center of his universe. Hmmmm?
Thanks for the chuckle Quilly, with all that is going on, I needed this.
.-= Bill´s last blog ..Please Note =-.
I’m glad we were able to cheer you up, Bill.
You two always make me smile. I love this he said/she said series.
Jientje — let’s hope He& She never run out of silliness.
LOL!
