( Bet 60% of wives know their husband's social security number and less than 5% of husbands know their wive's. )

Hmm, I knew we were a bit odd; maybe haven't realized yet just how odd. I know both numbers and she can never remember either one. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

We are odd for sure since both our S.S. numbers are exactly the same, except for the last two numbers.

The reason why is we were both in the same junior high school class when they first started handing them out! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Sure makes 'em both easy to remember though.

There's no possibility you were of the same household, was there? THAT would be ODD!

Interestingly enough, my wife's and mine are only different by about 300 (last three digits only). We were born within four months of each other in the same state but about 150 miles apart. We know each others numbers, but only because they are so close /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well, it's obvious there is something wrong with me, I know my wife's SSN by heart and she always has to ask me what mine is.

HEY CHUCKO....do you think my wife programmed her SSN into my feeble brain....hopefully it's on the LEFT side. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe there is something different with TBN users. I do real estate closings and during every one I have to ask my clients for their SS numbers. 60-70% of the time the wives know their husbands, but the husbands almost never know their wives. I think it used to be because most husbands were the primary on the health insurance and the Blues used the primary's social security number as an account number, but that's been changing.

Sorry I caused us to stray so far from the point of this thread.

Come on, someone else had to do something stupid to make the rest of us feel better. Cough up a story.

"I did not give her a hard time about it when it happened, so how could she give me one when I did something just as careless?" 

As I'm fond of saying; You're using logic where none is required. That'll get you in trouble every time. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Remember, you're dealing with the female of the species. You'll never understand them and you'll never win any argument with them because you're handicapped by an inherent need to be logical and make sense. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

A young man I knew, in his early days of learning how to mow grass, once thought "what the heck - I can mow over that rolled-up newspaper - its not like the mower can't handle it."

It looked like an early snowfall had hit or maybe a ticker-tape parade had gone by...

A few years ago I was having one of those exciting weeks when you acquire several big new items all at the same time. It was just like Christmas and I was excited! After years of nursing my old work van through one more month my brand new van had arrived from the factory just the way I ordered it. It also happened to be the week that several new implements I ordered were ready to pick up. I was really excited! A new ride and new tractor implements all in the same week. Life was good! One of the implements was a 6’ rear blade that was going to let me clean out some ditches that I could not reach with my 5’ boxblade. It worked beautifully and the ditches were looking better than ever.

Now I have thought about this many times and have decided that what happened next was the implement dealers fault. What else could it be! After all, don’t you think it is only reasonable to have expected the dealer to explain that a 6’ blade will get much closer to a new van than a 5’ boxblade when you pull up next to it? I considered legal action but the dealer is a good guy so I just point to the 3’ gouge in the van and expect a discount when I go to buy from him now. He does carry a measuring tape with him when I look at implements these days. Guess I taught him a thing or two. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

My driveway comes straight off the highway for about 100' then makes a 90 degree turn then goes around 75' over to the house.

Several years ago I had just poured about 25 feet of concrete in the driveway going to the house.
The cement truck had just left and not 5 minutes later some guy wheels into my driveway comes up it and makes the turn onto the drive going to the house and stops right in the middle of the fresh cement opens his car door and steps one foot out of his car into the liquid concrete before he realizes where he is and what he did.

It just struck me:

I didn't ask her, she asked me!

ha ha i just read most of those the other day myself. I can't believe some of those guys are still alive. They could stand to browse the TBN safety forum for a few minutes.

Hah, there was this one time this guy was rolling red paint on a shed. Once done, went over to hose to clean rollers off. Hose had one of those pressure handle/nozzlesl. Well the dummy sprayed the roller to clean it, and the roller spun at about Mach 5 and splattered him with red paint. Funny how I ended up with a new pair of pink socks.... /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

Perhaps the stupidest thing i have done lately happened at the bank. They have one of those boxes u put ur checks and stuff in that goes up the tube at the drive through. Well i dropped the box. Couldn't open any doors because of said tube and other posts on passenger side. So, in a true act of brilliancy, i pulled up to open door, and, you guessed it, ran over box. Ah wwell /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

It happened just today..... There's this guy real close that burns a lot of cardboard up on a hill in our neighborhood in a wire cage enclosure to contain the burning. He uses his tractor to haul 6 containers to the burn site at once unloading them near the wire container before moving the tractor to a safe distance. He then uses one on those neat looking propane torches with the squeeze trigger ignition to lite the fire. After he got the fire roaring today, and since the ground was covered with snow he put the torch where he was sure to see it, on top of one of those full containers of cardboard that was ready to be burned. By the time he dumped the last container into the fire he realized where the torch was, which was just before he made a real quick retreat back to the house. Shoot i'm really going to miss that torch! /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Yep, real dumb. About as dumb as the guy who was working in my woods today digging out trees. It seems he didn't move his new magnetic flood light before getting into the trees and then found it on the ground smashed to pieces later.
The mangled, dangling wires were still on the tractor.
Then he managed to lose the spanner tool for his brand new 24" bar Husky chainsaw because he stuck it in the fold of his chainsaw chaps for "just a moment" until it could be put somewhere else. I think it's well under some dirt now. I would have offered to help him find it, but he was yelling and cursing himself too loudly, so I kept my mouth shut. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif John

One of the stupid guys working on my house this past week left a dangerous tool where my 2-year-old daughter could reach it.

She proceeded to imitate the worker by hammering on some of the walls and a portion of the hardwood floor with the sharp edge of the crescent wrench.

Try saturating the wood dents with water, then steam the wood with a very hot iron over a damp rag. The steam causes the damaged wood to swell, filling the dent.
