I would have married her too

I named the thermostat "reactor". "Hey Google, turn up the reactor."

My cleverest accident was putting all the ceiling-mounted minis in the "attic" room. "Turn off the attic" kills 'em all, reboots the whole mess.

Another accident: I have two vivariums, "tank" and "main tank". The morning I goofed and said, "turn on the tanks", and it worked!

Reader, I married her.

A woman who still has such a sense of humour at the age of 40 is definitelly a keeper.

I resent the Boomer notion that 40 year old women can't be funny.

Edit:

"She's 40 years old" vs. "She's a 40 year old woman"

I took it to mean she's a mature adult, not a teenager.

I don’t think that’s what the post was implying

This is childish humour. It's a dig at her age, not ability. I resent the immediate jump to women not being funny. Maybe take the plank from your own eye.

There is a phase in pretty much everybody's life - which in men tends to manifest in the form of drawing penises pretty much anywhere - usually in one's teen years when that kind of humour is widespread.

Then most people get too full of themselves and concerned with appearances and lose that kind of humour (some will even act shocked when they see it).

So I read the reference to the age as just indicating one of those rare people whose humour hasn't, as they aged, been crushed by a need to be seen as a serious person, which I personally find are the best kind of people around at many levels, not just the humour itself but because that stuff tends to be correlated with self-confidence and being an easy and fun person to be around.

maybe just making sure we know it wasn’t someone else who amazingly reached 40-year-old-woman level of humor, but a 40-year-old woman achieving the typical amazing level of humor they’re known for

It's been years and I still giggle them theres motion at my bunghole

Along similar lines, Alexa won't respond to crude questions but my daughter got it to say "butt" by putting "your butt" on our shopping list. So if I ask what's on the shopping list it will say like, "You have three items on your shopping list: chicken, Bisquick, and your butt."

I always say, there's nothing wrong with still getting a laugh out of things you thought were funny in third grade.
