I dun it again.

[otherwise]

I can do some terrible things and my long suffering wife just rolls with it. Then I get into trouble for the nothing little things. Just now was a cracker. When she was out (works Wed & Thurs in a school library) I decided to boil some eggs for the curry I'm going to cook tomorrow. I mark them, HB for hard boiled and put them into the fridge. That sounds OK? She gets home, looks in the fridge for milk for her cup of tea and grabs an egg and gives me heaps.
"What's this (holding up one of the eggs)? What's HB?"
I just say "Hard boiled eggs."
Then I get the works, "How does your mind work? why didn't you put a C on them."
All innocently I say "What would C stand for?" big mistake.
"cooked, cooked, COOKED, I'm the library clerk around here, I'm the one who categorises things, it's C not HB."
She walks of trying to figure out how I'm capable of breathing in and out.CRY
Then as a parting shot I get "HB is a pencil!"

 

[DaveM]

I think maybe we have technical minds as I would have also gone with the HB

 

[Gromit]

I would've gone "HB" too and I wouldn't have made the pencil connection! Good One!!!!!

 

[devo]

I see absolutely nothing wrong in your logic either.
I guess thats four of us in the huh kev.

I'm now having one of those Sarsaparillas in the photo as part of the celebration of my vindication.
Tomorrow I'll show her the international support the "HB man" got.

 

[DaveM]

Kev I think you should turn them around and draw this on them

 

[Gromit]

Next time write "Pencil" on them - then when your wife asks what "pencil" is, say "HB as in Hard Boiled"

 

[Rocky]

From the northern hemisphere, HB is the logical label. That's what we use here all the time.
And yes, HB is a pencil, and I got that connection, but not in relation to an egg!!!!

 

[Silli]

HB = Hard Boiled! Correct!

C = Chickens egg, so as not to confuse with duck or ostrich etc.

Some people !!!

 

[Gromit]

I guess the hen is the charge of the eggs so I'd consider Otherwise duly pecked!!!

 

[Sea Dog]

Now you lot have scrambled my brain......... BTW that's S for scrambled.

 

[shanered6]

i think you should use .....T.E.H.B.B !.......thers no come back then . ( the egg has been boiled ! )

 

[hemibee]

HB is the way I would go too or SB if they were Soft Boiled.


Next time go with CHF. . . Cooked Hen Fruit.

[DaveM]

I think if we carry on like this Kevin won't see a next time

 

[otherwise]

All very funny comments.
She now knows that we are having a bit of a laugh about egg codes, that's OK, she's cool.
Next time, no more HB I'm going with the C code or it may be safer if I become a vegan.

Hey Gromit, is that the source of my problem?

 

[Gromit]

No, I think that's a rooster - the cause of your wife's problems

 

[DaveB]

I think I'm beginning to get your logic.

But I don't know what this means:


on two of the eggs ?

 

[avion]

bwahahaha
