Thinking back a few years, living in Fla., I remember Hurricane Irma. I was ready for it but my wife was not.
When the wind reached a screaming pitch with the trees snapping and thrashing, the horizontal streaming rain, flying roofing iron and destroyed fences as well as the unnerving sound-levels, my wife was rooted to the spot. She stared and stared through the glass of the window. Immovable, with her nose pressed to the windowpane, the stark fear in her eyes will stay with me forever.
Fortunately, as the eye of the storm arrived and the winds temporarily lessened, I was able to open the door and let her in.

Somehow I don’t think my wife will appreciate your humor (but I do )

It's a husband thing, no one else will understand it.
"All great things are simple, and many can be expressed in single words: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."

"The world is filled with violence. Because criminals carry guns, we decent law-abiding citizens should also have guns. Otherwise they will win and the decent people will lose."

I knew this wouldn't go well, but sometimes I just gotta be a jerk - I just read this to my wife and visiting daughter. They were silent for a minute, then one of them told me how bad that joke was, and the other agreed. So I fulfilled my duty to defend the male race though Sun Tzu would probably not have approved. But damn that was funny.

Ask them why Helen Keller couldn't drive.
(Because she was a woman.)
