It occurs to me that cucumbers are simply fetid jellied water in tube form.

I will not eat them in my house
I will not eat them with my spouse
I will not have them in my salad
I ca not think of a word that rhymes with salad.

Cucumbers are delicious jellied water. The flavour is in the skin. Zucchini on the other hand is mutant cucumber and should be avoided.

Yum. Cukes. Sometimes I make salad that is just cucumbers! Well, maybe a few slices of onion. Throw in some mayonnaise and dill, then put it in the fridge for an hour. I also have about six jars of pickles, and I made my own pickle juice.

My friend and neighbour who is Polish loves a dish from his country called "Miseria" , which translates predictably in English to "Misery". It consists of sliced cucumbers with salt , pepper, lemon juice, sour cream and fresh dill. It sounds delicious and we could only speculate that the reason it is called "misery" is because at some period of time in Polish history the only thing they had to eat was cucumbers ; No meat, no bread, and no beer or vodka. I cracked up though when he told me that one of his favorite national dishes was called "misery"......

I would eat that.
I would not eat the other national dish of Poland, which is some kind of gelatin casserole with salted fish and beets. I made that up, but it sounds right.

Woah!
My Bride is Really pissed at me!

I didn't pull ANY weeds in the back yard before my daughter and I left to go house hunting in Atlanta at 9:00 on Friday morning.

Specifics change, but it's, essentially, the same fight we've been having every other year for the last four decades.

She's really being a drag about it this time.

It's not about weeds.
The issue is that you didn't do as you were told.
