Me: You always read the front section of the paper, I rarely do. You should just fill me in on what's going on. What are you reading?
Husband: An article on the Russian sanctions.
Me: Oh?, And what's the story?
Husband: Trump is an asshole
Me: Oh *sigh* I get the same thing in the Style section.

Husband: You're sweating...
Me: Yes, I've been scrubbing at that floor for an hour, it's hard work. I'm tired.
Husband: Used a lot of elbow grease, huh?
Me: Yes, when I clean I put some effort and muscle into it, not like some people I could name who just pat at the dirt.
Husband: Who me? I'm just very gentle.
Me: And the dirt is very grateful for the massage, so much so that it stays right where it is.

Husband: Why are you rinsing out the milk container? Just screw the top back on and toss it in the trash.
Me: Barbarian! You always rinse out the empty milk container before tossing it.
Husband: But if you the screw the top back on it won't smell.
Me: Yes it will. And it doesn't matter. You always rinse the empty milk container. What's that saying "I'm not arguing with you, I'm just explaining why I am right" or "I'm not arguing with you, I'm just explaining why you're wrong" - either way it works.
Husband: You always explain things so cogently...
Me: Yes - the explanation is always - "Because I say so.."

Me: Here's your sandwich - what kind did you get?
Husband: Ham and cheese..
Me: How pedestrian...
(Husband unwraps sandwich)
Me: Eww - Orange cheese. There is no cow that gives orange milk, therefore there is no such thing as orange cheese.
Me: (chanting) NO MORE ORANGE CHEESE. NO MORE ORANGE CHEESE.
