MRS TROY BEATS ME!

This is not a desperate cry for help from a battered husband. Mrs Troy does not beat me in that way. However this week she beat me on DJ Kirkby's Wordless Wednesday caption competition. Usually I invite Mrs Troy into my study to read the various submitted captions. This time, after reading them, she told me she wanted to submit one of her own. I was at the keyboard so I took dictation. She came up with something regarding an April Fool joke. I told her that was no good as it wasn't April and therefore not topical. She told me to delete what she had dictated to me. Then she tried again, but stubbornly keeping to the April Fool joke concept. I suggested that she use "shocking" in the caption since electricity was a key component of the picture. She took up this idea and submitted a caption. She won!

I'm not the sort of husband who thinks his wife should walk 6 feet behind him - no, I am much more enlightened. However I don't think wives should beat their husbands at submitting witty captions. They should know their place.

  3. DJ - Yes, she usually is one step ahead of me but that's just so I can keep my eye on her (and in case there is any ice on the pavement).

    Leigh - thanks. If you pat my head you also have to give me a biscuit.
