Forget the Oreo thing. When
a woman wants to give that old passive/aggresive needle they can be so nuanced about it is almost undetectable. You know you’re getting it but it is so on the sly it barely moves the dial. And, when a man is in that certain range, well there’s just no tolerance. It’s like trying to contain a volcano with a silk thread. It ain’t happening. Most of us have been there. The result is best portrayed in the old movie “Public Enemy” when Cagney smushes a grapefruit in to Mae Clark’s face.
Now I’ve never done that but there’s sure times I’ve been tempted to.
Not that I condone violence. It is a fact that sometimes it happens. Sometimes you’re hammer and sometimes you’re the nail.
It is said that passion is wasted on youth and money is wasted on the aged. Mostly, I’m glad that as I grew older I became more stoic. Saved a lot of effort and hard feelings. Then again, what would we be without the passions of our youth.
I never cared for Bruce (spit) Springsteen’s politics, but he did wite some good music. Always liked this one:
I get up in the evening
And I ain’t got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain’t nothing but tired
Man, I’m just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use just a little help
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Messages keep getting clearer
Radio’s on, and I’m moving ‘round my place
I check my look in the mirror
I wanna change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain’t getting nowhere
Ah, just living in a dump like this
There’s something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is
You can’t start a fire
You can’t start a fire without a spark
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You sit around getting older
There’s a joke here somewhere, and it’s on me
I’ll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh’s on me
Stay on the streets of this town
And they’ll be carving you up all right
They say, “You gotta stay hungry”
Hey, baby, I’m just about starving tonight
I’m dying for some action
I’m sick of sitting around here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, give me just one look
You can’t start a fire
Sitting ‘round crying over a broken heart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
You can’t start a fire
Worrying about your little world falling apart
This gun’s for hire
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Even if we’re just dancing in the dark
Hey, baby
Boxes of Oreos might need to be declared assault weapons.
What about pointed sticks?
Do we need to start registering Oreos now?
Mmmm.... CricketDoodles 😀
“ I once had a fianceé who threw a ham sandwich at me.”
What happened to the sandwich?
L
The sandwich fell apart on the floor of the car. A quick exchange of words in anger, a stepping outside, tide detergent poured by her on the cloth passenger seat, the sandwich could not be salvaged. To bad, the sandwich maker was a Greek who knew how to make a good sandwich, and sourced real ham.
Hi, my name’s Ben, Ben Dover. I’m in for homosexual rape and murder. What are you in for???

Re women/passive aggressive:

NOBODY can piss one off like a spouse can.
