Your Dad Is Selfish And Other Oddities

Wifey is Indonesian so she often says things in a somewhat endearing way...


It's the fact that she doesn't mean to be funny which makes her funny.


I like to drop puns. I think some of them are brilliant, but she doesn't really get them.


So while I'm dropping the funniest one-liners the world has ever heard, the punch line is usually aimed at my own efforts when I have to explain why it's funny.


The great way to ruin a joke is to have to explain its humour.


Anyways, she started making up her own 'puns' which in fact were her just saying something mean to me then stating it was a pun.


"Your beard sux. It's a pun."

"Your nostrils are dumb. It's a pun."

You get the idea.


Many moons ago when we first met, she was asking about my upbringing.



I told her I was raised in a small village at the bottom of New Zealand.


I mentioned it was a 'fishing village' as that was the primary industry in the 1800's when I grew up (yes, I am that old #friendlyvamp).


Her response was "They're selfish."


My response to her response: "Ah, what makes you say that? They feed an entire community and it's great for the local economy. I can't see how that's selfish?"


Her response to my response to her response: "DO. THEY. SELL. FISH?"


Ahhh, 'sell fish.'

Yes. They do.

We laughed.


Years later those nuances have become funnier and funnier. The majority of which are accidentally non-pc so I can't drop them here.


Turns out my sweariness has worn off on her somewhat. #soz.


All this to say, I knocked out a short video for you to help you unlock a vital missing element most of you don't know you need.


It's on a specific part of your communication with your audience that may have you attracting the wrong leads...


Give it a tickle if ya ain't 'sell fish.'
