Backhanded Compliments

My wife was explaining to me about her hectic day.  “And at 2pm, this.  At 3pm, that.”

I finally interrupted.  “Well, at 9pm, we’re fucking, so go ahead and pencil that in.”

She looked at me for a second in astonishment.  “Uh-uh.  You can go have your alone time if you want, but at 9 I’m watching Deadliest Catch.”

“Well, I could bend you over the coffee table facing the TV.  You wouldn’t have to miss anything.”

“To hell with that, I don’t want any distractions!”

“Aww, honey, you said I was a distraction.  You’re so sweet.”

  1. Oh wow…I’m sorry man. Hopefully she decided to cancel her 9pm show, and well… you know :D

    Are you kidding? :D

    (We watched it together.)

  2. Bwhahahaha… Um sorry, but that was funny!

    I once told my husband (in the middle of sex) that a bowl of ice cream right that moment would be perfect. I think I hurt his feelings until I explained that I would be having my two favotite things at the same time.

    Kind of like him getting a blow job while watching a basktball game and drinking a beer. The best of all worlds. ;)

    Very nice. For me it would be a MotoGP race and a Maker’s on the rocks, but yep, that would be niiiiice.

    Oh, and the best smartassed reply I could come up with is “If you’re challenging me as to whether or not I could take you to the kitchen, make a bowl of ice cream, and come back without missing a stroke…I think I have no shot in hell but you’re on!!

  3. I am laughing too hard to come up with any competent reply to this.

    Then we’re even from my laughing at your sexual frustration last week. I hope!

  4. Wow, you and my husband have waaay too much in common. I can’t even count the number of times that this option has been proposed to me.

    $5 says we also share the proportion of times said option has been turned down!

  5. Guffaw! Okay, so I’d feel the same way about Gray’s Anatomy. And about my husband’s ability to distract. ::ahem::

    I hope he feels as complimented as I do.

  6. I couldn’t help but get a little turned on at the coffee table/bending over reference…sorry, but you know, it’s been a while…

    For me, too…otherwise I wouldn’t be resorting to the “I don’t mind doing it during TV! I won’t take long, you know that.”

  7. You peeps are crazy. The perfect kind of people to invite over for a game of Loaded Questions The Adult Version.

    I’m telling you, if it’s a board game, my wife would be there with bells on. If your game nights are as cool as you describe, I’d be afraid that I’d have to drag her home. “No, I will not go home and bring you all of your board games and your pillows.”

  8. Sounds like you were the one trying to give a “backhanded” compliment. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

    I’d have given them backhanded, fronthanded, or her-on-top-handed…I wasn’t picky.

  9. ROTFLMAO!!!! Yeah, I get it! hahahaha!

    Heheh. Apparently I’m not the only guy who uses this tactic…
