Is Your Current Partner Better At Making: Dinner, Money or Love?

This was a question asked on an old Tattletales TV game show featuring celebrity couples.

Mr. & Mrs. Bob Newhart and Mr. & Mrs. Dick Martin were there along with the married singing duo, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme.

Steve Lawrence answered this way. 'She combines two of them. She screws up dinner like you wouldn't believe.'

Comments welcomed.

Is Your Current Partner Better At Making: Dinner, Money or Love?

zerostar · Aug 14, 2007, 06:49 PM

I voted for love. My wife is a stay at home mom, so no money in a typical sense. While she cooks pretty well... it's not as well as she moves the booty if you know what I mean.

The "former Fiance' is currently packing! :-> She made messes, stress, and extra work.

Sorry. It's for the best. When the next one settles in appraise her and let us know how she fares in this space.

Happy For The Rest Of Your Life Lyrics

Hey hey hey hey hey
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

A pretty women makes her husband look small
it very often causes a system fall
As soon as he marrys her then she starts
looking for things that will break his heart
but if you make an ugly women your wife
you'll be happy for the rest of your life
An ugly women will put peals on that
and she'll always give you a piece of that.

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Don't let your friends tell you you have no taste
go ahead and marry anyway
Her face is ugly her eyes don't match
take it from me shes a better catch

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Dude 1:say man
Dude 2:hey man
Dude 1: I saw your wife the other day
Dude 2: Yeah
Dude 1: Yeah and Shes Ugly
Dude 2: Yeah shes Ugly but she sure can cook baby.
Dude 1: Yeah

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

(FADE)
If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

It's things like that that melt my heart. Really.

Show her that comment and I'll bet you'll get even luckier tonite!

ink · Aug 16, 2007, 05:15 PM

She's better at making me laugh.

Rumor · Aug 16, 2007, 06:18 PM

Mine is best at aggrivating the piss out of me.

That might come in handy later on in life, though, if you ever develop prostate trouble.

Unfortunately, I think I’ll have to resort to replying “Dinner”.

Sorry to hear that, Rumor.

Oisin, that's a funny line.

That sounds like a happy relationship.

abe · Aug 16, 2007, 07:54 PM

So far there's only one poll respondent whose current partner is better at making money.

What does that say for female equality or women's business acumen?

Anything?

andi*pandi · Aug 17, 2007, 11:36 AM

So basically this poll boils down to an Enjoli commercial from the early 70s? ok then.

(how do you know what percentage of poll responders are men or women? you don't.)

Laminar · Aug 17, 2007, 11:44 AM

Oh come on, we all know women don't use the internet.

They'd have to leave the kitchen or laundry room to do so.

Not with wireless these days.

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 12:44 PM

That means she'd have taken the pot scrubber, wooden spoon or the clothes iron out her hands, though. That'd be crazy.

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 12:50 PM

Could cause a decrease in productivity.

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 12:50 PM

And an increase in black eyes.

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 12:52 PM

You're the Brawny man, aren't you?

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 12:54 PM

The old school one, yes.

P.S. My wife has a Thirsty O

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 12:56 PM

I can see you wearing flannel in the wilderness, beating the wife for good measure.

I don't need to hear about your wifes Thirsty O.

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 12:57 PM

That's a denim shirt I'm wearing, friend.

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 01:02 PM

Just remember, you can't have both of her eyes swell shut otherwise she can't see while she is doing her chores.

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 01:07 PM

If she's particularly troublesome I usually take a Ball-peen hammer to her pinkie toes. And if that doesn't work, I send her to basement to stand in a bucket of water and deal with Endo.

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 01:12 PM

Interesting method. I've always been fond of the nipple clamps hooked up to a car battery.

How often is it that we completely take over a thread?

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 01:14 PM

I save that for the bedroom.

Annette310 · Aug 17, 2007, 01:16 PM

Not often enough.

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 01:56 PM

I'm sure we're going to hear to the contrary.

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 01:58 PM

At least we aren't trying to sell stool samples.

Dakarʒ · Aug 17, 2007, 02:00 PM

Someone is going to compare out posts to stool samples.

Rumor · Aug 17, 2007, 02:03 PM

I'd prefer they be compared to spice.

shifuimam · Aug 17, 2007, 02:25 PM

Ahahaha I broke up with my boyfriend last week, so none of the above.

He was good at making money and dinner...

osiris · Aug 17, 2007, 02:28 PM

My partner is about equal when it comes to love and dinner - both are delights beyond what most frail human men can handle.
She's pretty good at spending my money though.

And a homosexual countenance. (But the Thirsty O comment was VERY LOL-Ly!)

No. I don't think there should be any stigma associated with being homosexual. His image and persona simply doesn't strike me as that of someone I'd think would have a physically romantic female partner.

Guess we don't need to ask why you broke up with him.

Neither does Prince, but he pulls more tail than Hugh Hefner.

I guess I'm in neither one of their leagues. This is all I do with tail now.

It didn't seem worthy of a new thread... but SEE, I have been saying this stuff all along!

Dakar the Fourth · Mar 28, 2008, 12:41 PM

Odd, seems unlikely when they always appear to be on the two extremes of the hotness spectrum.

CRASH HARDDRIVE · Mar 28, 2008, 01:47 PM

Not really, when you think about it. Maybe the ones at the lower end of the hotness scale have to try harder.

And where's the checkbox for all of the above?

Shaddim · Mar 28, 2008, 03:14 PM

1. Love
2. Dinner

Neither is very experienced with making $, but that's slowly changing.
