Default A story / Social experiment

Please read this story!


I'D LOVE TO BE EIGHT AGAIN

A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. 'I'd love to be eight again' she replied.

On the morning of her birthday, he arose early and made her a bowl of Coco Pops and jammy toasties!

He took her to Dreamworld and put her on every ride in the park

* The Death Slide
* The Wall of Fear
* The Screaming Monster Roller Coaster

Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away they journeyed to a McDonalds where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a supersized chocolate milk shake.

Then it was off to the movies: the latest Kiddies three hour epic cartoon, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, her favourite lolly and M&Ms.

What a fabulous adventure!

Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed onto the bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked 'Well dear, what was it like being eight again?'

Her eyes slowly opened and her expression changed to one of total realisation...'I meant my dress size, you f*cking tw*t !!!'

The moral of this story: Even when a man is listening, he's still going to get it wrong.....



And now for the social experiment.....

Hands up who realised that she was on about her dress size right from when she first said it?

I guessed it. Honest, I did. It was obvious she meant dress size.

Although she should have said an eight so as to avoid confusion.

She probably just didn't want to upset her hubby after him going to all that trouble.

I guessed it correctly. If it had been my wife I would have done the right thing.

Sewn her fucking mouth shut and got her a colonic irrigation the fat cow.

She'd be back to size eight in no time.

I thought she meant age. I'm female by the way.
