Julia: (on the way to the car) If we decide to buy them do we need to find a truck to borrow?
Sloan: Don't think so. I can get them in the Jeep.
Julia: What? No way, baby. These are major appliances.
Sloan: They'll fit.
Julia: Glancing into the rear windows of the car. No way. I've never heard of someone hauling a washer or dryer in a Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Sloan: You mean a washer and dryer. Both. At the same time. I'll put the back seats down.
Julia: OH and putting the seats down will open up some sort of vacuous portal through which we can fit an infinite number of washers and dryers? We just need a truck.
Sloan: Get in. We don't need a truck.
Julia: Even if they DID both fit, it'd be a matter of inches. Your spatial reasoning cannot be that good.
Sloan: We'll see. Get in.
Later...at the seller's home
Sloan: They look good. We'll take them.
Dude Selling the Washer/Dryer: Cool. When do you want to come back to haul them?
Sloan: We can take them now in my Jeep.
DSTW/D: Your...Jeep? Will they fit?
Julia: THAT'S WHAT I SAID
Ten minutes later, after hauling them down a flight of stairs and out to the Jeep, and turning the washer/dryer in all sorts of directions:
Sloan: (huffing and puffing) There.
Julia: (jaw dropped) Wow. They...really fit.
DSTW/D: (jaw dropped) Wow. They...really fit.
Sloan: (already in the car) Let's go! It's cold!
lesson learned. never question sloan. haha..
ReplyDeleteI tried that once (this is Jason) and ended up making two trips with a borrowed truck... ok it was just a blazer, not ever a jeep-but I had to make two trips.

ReplyDeleteMen are just right. In marriage its more of a curse than a blessing, really.
