meathead
So I am a 'meathead'! I am a man and am sure that most if not all of card carrying members of manhood are neanderthals or knuckle draggers at some point. I am sure that all or most women think their husbands are idiots! I am of course no exception.
Last week while driving home I was listening to the wonderful sportstalk radio (sportstalk 980 on the AM dial in Maryland) and they were talking about the gambling issues in hockey. HOCKEY! I love hockey! I am from Minnesota where we take a week off for state tournaments of hockey or they don't teach and we watched it on TV in the classroom. So I felt obligated to call in and voice my opinion. I did the whole "First time caller. Long time listener.", thing. I guess I had said some good things because now these radio personalities were asking me questions. I was more impressed with hearing from the host of the show--John Thompson.
He is a legend in college sports and especially in this area. He was the coach of the Georgtown Hoyas. I was just thrilled! I had to tell someone.
I called my wife.
"Why are you telling me this?" My wife asked.
"I don't really know." I replied rejected.
"You're a meathead! Don't ever call me to tell me you were on a sports talk radio show again."
I hung up and was happy as hell that I talked to these guys and was actually on the radio. I still have no clue as to why I called my wife. I knew she could have given two shits about it. Why are men so stupid? I should have called my buddy in Wisconsin and told him.
So I'm a meathead! Pretty much the story of my life.

Not to criticize your wife because I know she reads here, but I don't think it's you. I always have to call someone whenever I'm on the radio or TV. Just Wednesday night I was quoted on the local Fox news channel and I had to tell a bunch of people. Of course they didn't care but they were nice to me about it.
What's odd is that today I had to enter a password for a user into a database and the user chose the password "meathead." The previous password was "michael" so I wondered if it referred to the same person.

Hmmm, maybe she was having a bad day? We all have those. I tell my husband things I KNOW he doesn't give a rats ass about, but he's my husband and my bud. So, we have a little game. He pretends to listen and I pretend he's actually interested. He tells me things about economics that sometimes, I just zone out on. But I wouldn't want him to share it with another woman - I love that he shares it with me. :0) She probably had a bad day.
