Besides the obvious, what can your SO do that you can't?

[ohiosmith]

My wife can fly an airplane.

[LaurenG]

1. Run a half Marathon - Open really well sealed jars and lift

heavy furniture without help.

[ohiosmith]

2. Good stuff.

:hi:

[HopeHoops]

3. I can (CENSORED) (CENSORED) (CENSORED) and (CENSORED) while (CENSORED) (CENSORED).

Or was that too explicit?

[ohiosmith]

19. Way too!

:rofl:

[Brickbat]

4. Swim.

[Rosie1223]

5. Drive a semi-truck

and weld.

But I can code a mean spreadsheet.

:hi:

[dawg]

6. Move on with her life.

[Lucinda]

7. :(

Im not sure if I should laugh or be sad. :(:

[dawg]

12. Laugh.

I'm beginning to be able to laugh at myself a little. :)

And pity my poor real-life friends, who have had to deal with the full blown "Debbie Downer" experience. :P

[Lucinda]

8. Very cool. He built our house - mostly by himself.

I did design it though. :)

And due to health problems I have, he can pick things up off the floor and I can't. :) (I lost the tongs I was using as a grabber.)

[Pool Hall Ace]

9. What is the obvious?

:hi:

[ohiosmith]

14. Have a baby, pee standing up. Obvious stuff.

:hi:

[hunter]

10. This isn't about breastfeeding at the Olive Garden is it?

I'm not equipped to do that. But maybe that's too obvious.

My wife can ask complete strangers to take their clothes off. And they do.

[Taverner]

11. Write 1000 times better than me, keep her cool (most of the time) and, well...

I'm not going to show you *that*

[ohiosmith]

13. Delete. Wrong place.

:hi:

[Taverner]

15. Now that was a funny mispost!

[Brother Buzz]

16. My wife can imitate a seagull without anyone knowing where the sound is coming from

Doesn't sound like much, but it's rather amusing to watch people look all over a subway car looking for the bird while she just sits there, looking disinterested.

[ohiosmith]

46. That's a hoot!

[Iggo]

17. Be non-existent. (n/t)

[NightWatcher]

18. She can sense when I'm seated comfortably and relaxing in my chair

and that sets off some internal alarm and she then calls me to get up off my butt, ditch the beer, and do something.

[madinmaryland]

20. I think there must be a female gene for that. My wife does the same thing!!

:D

[Kali]

21. dig

he can dig holes, or ditches - man can he dig a nice square ditch - you would think it was done by some kind of machine

he has more stamina for stuff like that - bucking hay or digging. I'm way more dexterous and can engineer better.

I can grunt stuff with strength, but I can't do it all day. He is much better at pacing heavy labor and getting the job done.

[Redstone]

22. Speak Seychellois Creo so fast that I can't understand more

than about a quarter of it. When she and her cousin drop into Quebecois French, I can grab about threee-quarters of it. But the words in Creo are so squashed and clipped, I'm utterly lost.

I can read it, though.

Redstone

[BiggJawn]

23. Quilt.

Make flower arrangements, too.

[LeftyMom]

24. I'm probably not supposed to say until the statute of limitations expires.

But he's awesome at it.

[Redstone]

26. Gotta be that healthy lifestyle, eh? (Almost, but not quite enough,

to get me to try it my ownself.

Redstone

[Rhythm]

25. Lyric is the Scrabble queen...

I haven't won a single game in 12 years...

[Redstone]

27. Bring her on to Connecticut. I can't drive right now because I have

a broken back, but I'll take ANYONE on at Scrabble.

And I'll be gracious if I lose, too. That has actually happened once. But I don't care who wins, as long as it's a good game.

Redstone

[Bake]

28. Mrs. B is an accomplished pianst!

But the list of things she can do that I cannot is too long for DU ...

:hi:

Bake

[femmocrat]

29. Balance the checkbook.

And so many other things.

[alphafemale]

30. Play Guitar. nt

[sakabatou]

31. Draw humans

[Oxy Contin]

32. Know what death is like

[nolabear]

33. Computer nerd stuff.

Unfortunately when I try to get him to teach me to fix my own computer nerd issues he's much better at just fixing them. I'm convinced it's to keep me in thrall.

[DBoon]

34. speak German passably well

pass the state bar exam....

[krispos42]

35. My ex-wife...

...can sense when I'm on a highway on- or off-ramp, and call my cel phone.


Ever since she moved to Canada and I got Sam, we've talked a lot less. But, dammit, she still has it!

[Not_Giving_Up]

36. Control the obnoxious teenage boy

He doesn't listen to me anymore, but he will listen to Dad!

[susanr516]

37. He can play the violin

also do telephone and electrical wiring, fix the plumbing, do pretty much any kind of mechanical thing around the house.

However, I will love him forever because he got a hornet out of the bathroom this morning. And then replaced the torn screen. :loveya:

[Rowdyboy]

38. Qualify for social security .....(he's 62-I'm 57)

[flvegan]

39. Testify against me.

I can take the 5th but she can't.

Just kidding. You know what she can do that I know I can't?

Raise a good, proper kid.
Put up with me. Unless you're her, you have NO idea what that means.
Be subtle.
Tolerate Star Trek, et al.
Cook seitan.
Wear those skinny jeans things.

[LeftyMom]

40. Skinny jeans?

I'd have to give up the seitan for a while. And grow six inches.

There's an easy way around the other thing, if it ever comes up.

[flvegan]

41. I saw you in them, dammit.

The other thing? You mean you'll teach me to cook seitan? The Veg Forum would love that.

[LeftyMom]

42. Hell no. I know how I keep you in my power.

Well, that and boobs.

[flvegan]

43. Threadjacker.

Been a long time since that's happened in this Lounge.

[BarbaRosa]

44. Math

numbers are fun for her. . .

[fizzgig]

45. play music

draw, move the apartment by himself.

[canoeist52]

47. Add and subtract numbers in his head.

But I can write and spell wicked awesome!

Oh yeah, he can also carry and put the canoe on out truck by himself. I've tried it so many times and have had the bruises to prove it.

[madmom]

48. Down a 12 pack without blinking an eye, then ask for more.
