I'm a stupid bass player

Sign in to disble this ad
... that got myself into a world of hurt on Monday. My widfe and I had taken a vacation last week to Mexico and we were out on a double kayak. She was in the front and I was in the back, basically this means that she decided which side we were both to paddle on.... cool. We were chugging along in a straight line and then her timing begins to waver a little and we had a jousting session with our paddles trying to get back in time... Then I told her that I'm bringing my metronome next time. Then the arms crossed, then she went silent, then I paddled by myself the rest of the way back to shore.

Sounds more like a case of 'stupid husband' rather than bass player.

Depends where you live and how morally gray you might be.

Your wife has a very thin skin.

Life sucks. If I'm rowing behind you and you can't keep time, I'll start calling "Stroke, stroke" and make it work.
Don't like it? Swim.

Here in Michigan I say a quick way to end a relationship is to go canoeing together. Nothing exposes the lack of communication, team work and blatant disregard of roles like canoeing. good luck.

Meh, lucky for me it was an all inclusive resort and she forgot all about it after a mango margarita on the beach. All in all, it wasn't as bad as I let on.

Being a Michigan native, I will say that canoeing is a bit different in that there is anough distance between us and the flowing river helps make sure that she doesn't have to do any actual work and that she can ride up front and get a tan... and get me another beer... and a sandwich.

I'm lucky enough that I have a girl who would dump me in the lake if the roles were reversed.
