Twist ties are supposed to be fastened in a clockwise direction . Damn it!
Edited on Thu Dec-01-05 12:36 PM by oneighty
For some reason my wife always fastens them in a counter-clock-wise direction. So I sit there trying to open a loaf of bread and the twist tie gets tighter and tighter.

Sigh. Woe is me. Life gets tedious don't it.

1. That's why God invented Dykes
Manly tools for manly jobs. Red Green set me straight on the solution to this domestic dilemma.

9. She is out
shopping right now. While she is gone I will change the twist direction on the twist tie on HER loaf of bread. (She uses white I use cracked wheat).

That will learn her. I also did HER dishes. That will make her happy and also make her be worrying over what bad thing I did wrong to cause me to warsh HER dishes. I bet.

10. If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
You ever see one of these? It's called a GPS, which stands for - well, who cares? Point is, this thing uses satellites to tell you where you are, which means that every man can have a five-hundred-dollar reason not to ask for directions. - Red Green

3. No she is not
She is from the South Carolina Low Country though where many contrary peoples live.I figure when she saw that I did it clockwise she became determined to do it counter-clock-wise. Twist ties that is. Hee hee hee.

Going on forty-nine years now of contrary. (or is it forty eight?)
