I’m not deaf!!!
My car has all the bells and whistles. Most components in the car (radio, navigation, phone, etc.) can be controlled by voice commands. A button must be first pushed to activate the listening mode. The little mic is right above the driver's head. Push the button, issue your command, and wait for the command to be executed. Simple.
My wife and I attended a special birthday party for a friend at a local restaurant. After the party, we left and climbed into the car. I started the car and the GPS display panel lights up. It has two modes, daylight (black text on bright white background) and night time (soft grey text on black background). Since we arrived while it was light outside, the display was still in daylight mode. It was dark now, and the blinding display looked like a flashlight shining back onto our faces.
Just as I was pulling out of the parking lot my wife leans over towards me, and with a very LOUD voice, yells "NIGHT TIME MODE!!!"
I'm so startled at this unexpected outburst, I nearly lose control of the car.
Recovering from the near accident, ears still throbbing, I advise her, "A button needs to be pushed before you issue a command!"
"Oh, I thought it was listening all the time." she responds.
"Even if it was," I countered, "it's not deaf !!! You don't have to yell so loud!"
"I just wanted to make sure it heard me loud and clear."
"All you need to do is to speak clearly." I instructed. "Believe me, it will hear you 'loud and clear.'"
I pushed the button and said, "Go ahead…speak." She spoke. It changed to night-time mode. She settled back into her chair and smiled, obviously pleased with her great accomplishment. My ears are still ringing.
Can’t Win
While driving to a restaurant, the conversation came up about people with awkward social skills. My son says he has great social skills and can carry on a interesting conversation with anyone.
My wife counters, "Yea, except you're argumentative!"
My son quickly comes back with, "No I'm…"
He stops speaking, realizing this is not an arguement he can win.

Moses Fishing with Friend
Difference Between Praise Choruses and Hymns
A man accustomed to a mainline church went to a seekers’ service one Sunday. He came home and his wife asked him how it was.
“Well,” he said, “it was interesting. They did something different. They sang praise choruses instead of hymns.
“Praise choruses?” said his wife. “What are those?”
“They’re sort of like hymns, only different,” said the man.
“What’s the difference?” asked his wife.
He replied, “Well, it’s like this. If I were to say to you,
‘Martha, the cows are in the corn,’ that would be a hymn. Suppose, on the other hand, I were to say to you:
‘Martha, Martha, Martha,
Oh, Martha, MARTHA, MARTHA,
the cows, the big cows, the white cows, the black and white cows,
the COWS, COWS, COWS are in the corn,
are in the corn, are in the corn,
are in the CORN, CORN, CORN.’
Then, if I were to repeat the whole thing five or six times, that would be a praise chorus.”

Thanks Mom!
My wife often fixes tasty meals. On one occasion, my son must have really enjoyed the meal. He took extra portions and ate to a point where he was overstuffed. At the conclusion of the meal, he came up to my wife to extend his thanks:
"Thanks, Mom! Dinner was great! Boy, I feel sick!!"
How does one respond to that "compliment?" "Ahhhh…you're welcome…I guess? "
Sarcastic Son
On my way home from church, I was talking about this web site with my kids. I recommended that they subscribe to it since a lot of the funny stories were about them.
"Who's going to go to your site, dad?" my son sarcastically chimes in from the back seat. He continues, "Heck, I can't even spell whimsical banter!"
I replied, "Keeps the illiterate out!"
Everyone (all authors and writers) in the car laughed…except my son.
Home from Surgery
When my 82-year mother arrived at home after hospital surgery, she was pleased to see that my father had made up the bed with fresh sheets and blankets. They retired early in the evening to go to bed. Since it was wintertime, their bedroom was a bit cool.
Like many couples, the husband likes his side cooler than the wife. Fortunately, they had an electric blanket with individual controls. Both set their controls to their preferred settings and dozed off to sleep.
During the night, my mother still recovering from surgery, got a bit cold. So she cranked the setting a bit higher. Dad, like most men, was too warm, so he turned his setting down. 15 minutes later, she still feels chilled, so cranks the setting up really high. Dad, feeling very uncomfortable and profusely sweating by now turns his control off. Mom's freezing.
It turns out that while my dad was preparing the bed, he accidently flipped the electric blanket over the wrong way. Each was controlling the other's temperature without knowing it. She cranked it up and his side becomes a suana. He turns his control off, she freezes.
It's hard to blame dad. His heart was in the right place. After all, he's 91 years old.
