SUE ARE YOU LISTENING???

I am married to a World Class Talker......
If they had Olympics for talking he would be Mark Spitz....
Yes, ladies be jealous if you will....I have a husband that actually talks....
I know there are some ladies out there who have the type of husband that can take a road trip and not say a word for 8 hours locked up inside a car.....
Not me....
But with that comes a few roadblocks....
He never shuts up....
He can talk for 4 to 5 hours on end without taking a bathroom break and he's been doing it
for the past 39 years....
I know everything there is to know about Joseph Stalin and we have re-created
World War 2 more times then I care to count.....
I think he wanted daughter to get a law degree just so he could talk to her about the
Constitution.....daughter....can you verify that.
But it took him 39 years to come up with a way to catch me not listening....
I usually will sit and just nod and on occasion say the obligatory
"Uh Hu"....."Okay"......"I Agree"....
but today he caught me.....
While talking about the life and times of Vince Lombardi.....(photo above)
Oh and by the way this discussion was brought on after seeing the story on the news about the high school coach that is being prosecuted for the death of a player......
When half way through Vince's career highlights the "Boss" as the husband is called...
interjects the name of another football coach...
"Colonel Klink"
Finally after all these years he has figured out that by throwing in a fake name he can actually see if I'm paying attention...,.
Ofcourse I always have atleast one ear open just for this type of thing so I caught it immediately and asked what did Hogan's Heroes have to do with Vince Lombardi.....
We did have a good laugh.....then went on to the next subject of
Conversation.......
