Once upon a time

Reading Preston Taylor Homles' A Brief Conversation with the Mrs. reminded me of a conversation I had with my lovely bride not too long ago. We were watching television and the lead actress (Jodi Foster I think) was getting the crap kicked out of her by her husband.

Me: What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

the Wife: Spousal abuse isn't a laughing matter

Me: unless you're married to a clown.

the Wife: *Shakes head and wonders out loud why she married me.*

She's so mean to me, her snide remark almost hurt my feeling..
