So a guy at work is talking to me the other day. He was telling me how he was at supply house getting parts to repair a pressure washer, and the guy at the supply house offered him a job fixing, well, pressure washer pumps. My coworker told him he was not interested, but might be willing to discuss a part time thing working few nights or weekends. The guys tells him he needs a full timer, blah, blah, blah.

My coworker tells me he would really like a part time job, as it would get some extra cash for his upcoming wedding later this year, and as an added bonus it would, in his words, get him away from "her" for several nights each week. I look at him and then over to one of the other guys in the room. We both start laughing and almost simultaneously say something like:
"Umm, that's the woman you are going to marry you're try to get away from?"
He says, "yeah, it ain't easy, I mean I work with her 5 days a week, and am around her every night and all weekend..." (just to clarify, she does work at our company, but in a different department, and in a building across the street. We see her once every few days when she comes to our offices to bring him an occasional coffee.)
Still laughing, I counter that I was self-employed for nearly 8 years and worked with my wife every day for much of that time, and had no such problem. He says "Yeah, how'd you manage that?" The other guy, anticipating my response, has to sit down because he is laughing so hard. I reply:
"For starters, I actually LIKE my wife!"

He looked puzzled.
