  • Yeah, the responses you’re getting are pretty peak Lemmy. People who lack imagination and sense of humor, just ready to assume the worst.

    Since I, too, am not in a joyless relationship, you can have this one that has worked for me: mispronounce really obvious things when you’re together in public where others can hear you. For example, once while perusing the cocktail menu at a bar I noticed a drink on the menu called “The FDR.” Now, I know how that’s pronounced, but I decided that when the waitress came back I would see if I could remain completely straight-faced while ordering “the fidder.” I announced my intention and my partner was like “No, you will not.”

    So, of course, I had to.

    I pulled it off. The waitress corrected me, and I acted like I had just learned something. But the point wasn’t the waitress (who probably went back to the bar with the best story to tell about the dumbass at that table over there). It was about my partner who, for about five seconds, probably wanted to die.

    10/10 comedy, would recommend, would do this kind of thing again (and have).
