In my house..."Honey, want to go diving?"...door slam, sound of feet running, sound of gear hitting the bed of my truck, sound of engine starting...God, I luv my wife :)

OMG how do I train my husband like that?

Wish I could even get mine to consider diving - she won't even try snorkelling
 
I say I'm going diving. She says OK.
She says "I'm going to the casino". I say OK.
No problem.

Her hobby is probably cheaper!:dollar::dollar::dollar::euro::euro::euro:

Cheaper?? At Texas Hold'em she wins 2 out of 3 days so I encourage it. I admit I'm not the brains in this family.
 
Tsk, tsk, tsk Here the question is: "Honey, let's go diving Saturday." Answer: "Sure!" Disclaimer: water temp must be 65*f or better.
65? Not 85? Some people have all the luck...
 
Spoken like a single diver.

If you were married, you would understand that without the "OK?" you are facing one of five scenarios, none of which are good:

You: "Honey, I'm going diving Saturday."
She: "Saturday?" (This is NOT a question.)

You: "Honey, I'm going diving Saturday."
She: "If that's what you want to do." (This IS a question.)

You: "Honey, I'm going diving Saturday."
She: "Go ahead." (This is a dare.)

You: "Honey, I'm going diving Saturday."
She: "Whatever." (This is a warning.)

You: "Honey, I'm going diving Saturday."
She: "Fine." (This is the end.)

:crafty:

Since my use of the term of endearment, "Honey," was gender neutral would the conversation be different if the "honey" was a man and the diver was a female in your dialogues?
