"oh boo" moment #422.672



okay, so i go out to the garage (aka: the man's place) and nancpop is whittling on an approximately 15" piece of wood.

i ask, "sooooooo, whatcha makin'?", acting extremely interested for sure.

he replies, "a propeller."

i respond, "oh."

quite awhile later, i ask, "soooooooo, what's the propeller for?"

so lovingly, he says, "so as to make your broom over there go a little faster when you go to town!"

...oh boo...

  8. Sunday, my son was going to work on a lawn tractor or a mini-chopper or something along those lines. He's talking to me while he's putting on boots and tying laces and all of the sudden he gives me a strange look and says, "Dad, I think my feet are swollen".

    So I told him to put my size 10 boots up and put on his own size 11.

    Bwa ha ha ha ha ha

    Nanc, make sure to tell him that hickory makes the best propeller.

    oh boo

  9. A fifteen-inch propeller would have to spin pretty fast to carry a broom and its cargo and passengers at a respectable speed, unless the broom is traveling underwater.

    But you didn't say how wide the 15 inch wood was.

    Oh boo.

  10. Prop or noprop, Nancpop has his hands full.... is my guess!

    ReplyDelete
  11. He does Eyes, and he loves it! You know how men have this thing about "fixing" something...our Nanc is a constant "project"!
    Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

  12. warren - so you're agreeing that i need a propeller for my broom?

    beamish - it's two-by and he's going to put a big rubber band contraption on it from what he makes out of an innertube. the broom already flies - this will just make it faster.

    eyes - he is so good to me...after all - he could have just bought a prop.

    tmw - I AM TOO!

    now, i'm going over to brownie's from some sympathy. you people...

  13. So I just need to get mine a garage?

  14. Tell him to strap a gross of bottle-rockets to the broomhandle, Nanc!

    It'll get you there quicker!

  15. brooke - only if you want him to build nice things for you *;[

    daddio - no, that reminds me of a very scary story...

  16. ROTF! What a thoughful hubby Nancpop is. You are a lucky woman!

    I think it would be a great idea to send Rosie a broom like that, only it needs to be extra large and rigged so that it will fly upside down. :)

  18. They say that broom riding is becoming the new surfing.

    I think the propeller will keep you ahead of the trends.

  31. My broom needs a propeller too. Maybe that's why I've been having trouble taking off.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Nanc, that is hilarious...nothing personal there...just plain funny!

    ReplyDelete
  33. well, kell - if these things didn't really happen to me, i'd have to make them up just to clear my head. my husband is a comedian. once he tossed a whisk broom to me and said, "stop parking your sports car where i can trip over it!"

    ReplyDelete
  34. My husband is the punster. He once got a 12-sided die thrown at him for a pun during a game with friends.

    It is a good thing that you also have a sense of humor...otherwise you could go mad.
