She’ll make a row out of anything

She’ll make a row out of anything

Brutus didn’t have many strings to his bow.

That’s what married couples life is: row together. And Brutus wanted to express it to you from the first date.

Brutus is blushing as he cuts his eyes out at us. :D

She didn’t have to say “I do”. Family row boat aside, there must have been something about Brutus that attracted her to him. Knowing Brutus, we’ll just say it was a full head of hair.

He made the most of what he had to work with.

At least Gladys got to float on the water for a little while !

I said “Y’ought” – not “Yacht.”

What would Veeblefester’s life have been like if she’d married him instead, and taken Mama Gargoyle with her?

All while singing ’Row, row, row your boat.

Was the deceiving part that the row boat belonged to some other family?

So is this what marriage is like? He, tries to create a romantic evening by saying sweet nothings and they even switch each other’s slippers, he is wearing her pink slippers and she wears his brown slippers. Aww, how charming.

Yet in no time at all she has to be an ice princess and quickly spoils the MOOD by putting him down!

It could have been worse. He could have left her up the creek without a paddle.

To be fair, he named his rowboat “Yacht”, even painted it on the back.

The boat was named “Myat”

And they lived happily ever after .

But she stayed on the date and it led to another and another, etc. No need to be embarrassed Brutus. I have a more embarrassing story of the first date with the girl who became my wife of 43 years and counting

And an excellent rowing job she must have done to win over Brutus. She probably was a good spooner also which helped immeasurably…..

Brutus you sly dog……..

Oh, Brutus…you bad boy, you. Snork!!! So, was she a good rower? I think so, as you’ve kept her around ever since. LOL

Potato potahto it was a boat

Kind of resembles me. When my wife met me at a Pig Picking, I was driving my Silverado pick up pulling my 14 foot 54 inch wide Jon Boat decked out for fishing with my dad along. She loved fishing and loved eating fish of all types but feared water as she did not swim. I assured her she could walk around on boat like land. We went fishing next day and she was hooked on fishing from that boat – and me. She passed March 21 this year. We fished hundreds of times. And we even went deep sea fishing many many times on Hurricane Fleet. She loved catching big fish laughing like a little child. I retired from Air Force in 1984.And she was my best Mate forever. I miss her so much.

What he really did, was establish that she was the one for him. She was gullible enough to fall for the ’family yacht ploy.

They are what one of my friends calls “stickers.” They will stay together forever, no matter what, and make the best of things and stay pretty happy and secure.

Hey one person’s row boat is another person’s yacht. OK, he may have embellished it a bit.

ship ahoy!

snicker He’s sitting on HER lap!

♬ my little red painted rowboat… not much better than no boat… but at least it will go when I row, row, row, …

Brutus thinks, “Gladys’ breath is really bad, should I tell her? Better not.” then he says “Oops gotta go, excuse me Gladys”…

All’s fun in love and war.

Couldn’t have been that bad… she still ended up marrying him.

YOU DIRTY [SO&SO!!]
