You are a dork.

I like how you gave them a dishonest portrayal of what they are looking for. They were looking for a happy family.

Uh…anyone who missed the TOTALLY tongue in cheek nature of my OP needs to get themselves down to the mechanic for a quick humor check, I think you might be a quart low. Ginger did not hit me, she rolled her eyes at my taking the piss out of an innocent teenager. Sheesh! Next thing I know, y’all will have a problem with me helping my wife get high.

And here I was reading through this thread, looking for a way to work in a cite to that thread.

Yes
Weirdave - Ginger - you should be ashamed of yourselves. Go to your bedroom and flog each other with socks.
Rock on!

What part of this was the clue that you were kidding?
[/QUOTE]
I suspect you purposely left out the part, pointed out earlier by me, which made the joke obvious.

I think it’s the context. Getting pulled into a picture of a happy family after this line, for example.
I giggled.

See, now, I would have taken the Happy Family request a bit differently. I would have snidely remarked, “no happy family here–I’m with HIM!” 
I don’t mind his dorkiness–afterall, the girl kept feeding him straight lines. Who among us could resist?
PC addition: of course it’s wrong and bad and mean to hit your husband in public. Wait until you get home… some husbands like it! <rim shot>
ETA: dammit, mswas beat me to it… I must remember to read the whole thread prior to posting.
I remember a long time ago when I was a teenaged girl and my friend’s fathers (and even my own) pulled the dorky wiseass routine. It must be a rite of passage for men of a certain age.
