Do you care to try to make amends or just fuggeddaboutit and move on? How's it workin' for ya?

    I will say clever things to my wife...They go over her head. I just shake my head and say never mind to myself.

    Same with my gal sometimes  but I think she is just pretending she doesn't 'get it' when she is in a bad mood about something like maybe I forgot her birthday  ..y'know.

    Precisely. Never tell a retired drunken Jeep worker a physics joke.
