I dunno, I thought K fit you. (Should I wink here, or not? I'm never sure in Alex replies.)

First of all, asking the question is just a courtesy. Like I'm making Michael feel like he has a choice on whether or not to do the dishes. Well, he does have a choice, either do the dishes when it's his turn or face my wrath. :p

Second, I don't want to feel bossy by giving an order, thus the question makes me feel better too.

Of course, if it's my turn to do the dishes and I just really don't want to, I'm known to say something like, "One of us needs to do the dishes tonight and one of us needs to go to the store." Michael hates going to the store, so I know he'll choose dishes 95% of the time. If he chooses store, I can always invent really complicated things that we need that he will have no clue where to find. :evil:

Wow. Women are evil.

Courtesy my ass. It's just a device to make sure we completely in the dark as to whether a question is actually a question or not. If I have a choice, give me a choice. If I don't have a choice, don't give me a choice.

But what if I only want you to feel like you have a choice when actually the option that I don't want you to choose is very unpleasant?

"Before you leave, would you mind putting away the things on the bathroom counter and wiping off the shaving cream?" seems to work just fine around here.

"I will do the dishes when I get home from the theatre," also seems to work.

I need to do the dishes.

Do you seriously think we can't see through that? Give us some bleedin' credit here. "Do the dishes please." See how easy that is? (can you tell CP and I have had this conversation?)

L- You live to have fun.
I- You have a fine ***
S- Easy to fall in love with.
A - You like to drink.

heh- I did not realize azz was edited- sorry :)

oooh... I really want to participate in the derailed part of this thread, but as a married guy, I'll bet my feelings will be pretty predictable.

But on the OT... how come F comes before E in the alphabet?

Some adorable people might be incorrectly assuming they're good kissers...

L- You live to have fun
I- You have a fine ***
Z- Always ready

Not really accurate...

L- I'm really too earnest to be described that way
I- Well, if by "fine" you mean "generous" :D
Z- Always ready...for cheese!
