Did you retire in the 50s?

I’ve never understood the idea that dinner should be ready the minute I walk in the door. I’ll have a drink and maybe work on some unfinished projects, and eat dinner later, probably after 7.

Retirement reduces home benefits!

Since you retired, you’re home all day every day, leaving for a round of golf or something isn’t enough to make the heart grow fonder.

At least he came home and said ‘Hi, Honey, I’m home’ and in that order

I’ve never greeted my wife with, “Hi, Honey, I’m home.” First, I only occasionally call her “Honey” — mostly I call her “Babe.” Second, once I say, “Hi Babe,” I know she’s smart enough to figure out that I’m home, so the second part becomes superfluous.

Sort of a let down eh Ben?
