If someone asked your spouse what you did at work ever day, how would she answer?
My wife would probably say
"He does something with radar and satellites and computers but I really don't know exactly what he does."
What would your spouse say?
What if your spouse got together with the spouses of your colleagues? What would that conversation be like?
"So Gwen, Do you have the same experiences being married to an engineer as I do? Myron chose engineering after he realized he didn't have enough charisma to become an undertaker."
"You're telling me Mrytle. Bert wore the same short sleeve white shirt to work three days in a row. On top of that, he wore black pants and brown shoes. Sometimes I wonder if I made the right move. And he's so damn cheap too. He still drives his college 1984 Corolla with 276K miles on it."
"Ya, I've seen it. Isn't it the one with the hanger for a radio antenna?"
"Yep. That's it."
"When is he going to clean out all the McDonalds wrappers from the back seat?"
"I asked him about that...He said something about when they start flowing into the front seat."
"Oh girls, I can top that. So Harry comes home last night and I greet him in a night gown and martini. What does he do? He heads straight to the PC and logs on to City-Data."
"My mother wasn't kidding when she told me what engineers use for birth control. You know what she told me?
"No, What?"
"Are you ready for this? Their personalities. Ain't that a riot?"
"Marrying to an engineer is great, Gwen. I don't worry about him cheating on me. I can always find him in his office"
"No kidding, Mrytle. Getting Bert to do home remodeling project is easy. If he's not motivated, I just say 'never mind, I'll get Myron to do it because he's SMARTER !!'"
"Yeah! I just tell my husband that I am going to spend MONEY and hire a contractor!!"
"You guys are so right, but I do confess that sex is not as exciting as before I was married. I used to run around with this biker guy and OMG he was fantastic !!... now Harry just...."
"Not my Bert. These missile defense engineers know a thing or two about rockets going off !!!"
"Yeah well... they just not very good about early warning systems!"
<everyone giggles>
"Let's face it ladies... how else do we get SMART kids, don't get into trouble... and start drawing a salary before they lose their virginities ?"
See, when you're married you don't have to monkey around with all that stuff. In fact, your dishes get cleaned, your clothes get folded and put away, and you don't have to have the ants clean your crumbs off the kitchen floor for you anymore.
I haven't paid for it yet. In fact, just last weekend I got this amazing bl...
You always pay for it. Maybe you don't know it but you always pay for it.
