Default The Royal WE
some years ago my wife and I went upto the Mountains near fort william in Scotland. On route it started to rain very very heavily and sadly we attained a flat tyre. My wife said: "Its no good Steve, we'll have to fix it."

I thought, hhhmmm, she's right we will.

Anyway, I got out of the car and started to jack the car up and change the tyre. The rain was thrashing down on me and I was soaked to the skin.

Suddenly I heard my wife say: "Have you finished yet?"

I paused for a moment with water dripping down my face and looked at her as she peered out of the window.

"What did you mean when you said, We'll have to change it?" I asked her.

She smiled and replied. "I meant YOU."

We now call that type of scenario, The Royal We. It means ME or YOU if you're a man and your wife is calling the shots.

Since then I've told her, if she doesn't help me with stuff like this, she can wash the pots herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

regards

The humor of this is because it is about real life. It's funny when a husband finally realizes what "We'll" really means. I have known for years now that her royal highness decides. Me being the serf knows enough about how things work that the little head swells with pride when it goes well.

But we're so proud of all you wonderful men are able to accomplish. You're so much stronger and wiser than we are.
