Marital Banter
Lisa and I have been working on her Jeep, getting it ready to flat-tow.
Lisa was helping me with one of the last tasks that involved me laying on my back under the vehicle and her passing me stuff. A familiar conversation ensued.
“Please pass me one of the push-in retainers”
“Ok, here”
“Thanks, but a good mate would have handed it to me with the stem pulled out”
“You’d better look for a ‘good mate’ then; this one’s trying to get fired!”
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Having ‘heard’ the tone and self-assurance in your (English brogue) ‘commands’, I can see how a first-class mate would be long on patience and short on ‘Bob’s-Your-Uncle’ explanation (what tool I need when).
