    Smile Quiz for Married Men

    All married men know the answer so it's really not an accurate title. But here is the story problem:

    A married man (me) wakes up at 5:00 AM and as he stumbles in the dark to get ready for the day, snags his toe on a #14 greenie fly snagged in the carpet.
    Why is the married man elated that he snagged his toe on a fly with an unmashed barb at 5:00 AM?

    Because if he's up that early he's sneaking out to go fishing.

    Default Because

    If his wife had snagged her toe on the fly his pain would have been much greater.

    Your username is not jsmartt for nothing sir! You win as the first correct answer! Print out this page and take to Starbucks for a coffee, there will be a $2.00 service/handling charge on a grande drip...

    Aha! almost got us on that one didn't you. No married man would be allowed to go to Starbucks alone for a coffee free coupon or not. Free coupons must be run by the wife for her approval. This is for only one coffee not two. There would ensue a discusion over are we or are we not a couple and isn't a couple by definition two people. Nope your coupon is a recipe for disaster.

    Its slow but I'm learning all about this marriage stuff.
    For God's sake, Don't Quote me! I'm Probably making this crap up!

    What is the service/handling charge if he ISN'T a "grande drip"?

    Robin,
    I have to say it! There is NO WAY that greenie fly makes it to the carpet without the barb pinched! I might believe a bare hook! But it makes for a better story.
