It&#8217;s crunch time, and they are working very hard.  She doesn&#8217;t get home until after midnight.<\/p>\n<p>Well, Dave gets off work around 4pm.  He&#8217;s got nothing to do, and doesn&#8217;t want to sit at home by himself, so he asked me if I wanted to go play golf.<\/p>\n<p>At around 6:30pm we&#8217;re finishing up our round when his wife calls.  I can hear bits and pieces of their conversation, but not the whole thing.  When Dave hangs up the phone he&#8217;s got a pained look upon his face.<\/p>\n<p>He explains what happened.  Their conversation sorta went like this:<\/p>\n<p>Dave&#8217;s wife: What time will you be home?<\/p>\n<p>Dave: About 9pm.<\/p>\n<p>Dave&#8217;s wife: Why so late?<\/p>\n<p>Dave: Well, what&#8217;s the hurry?  I mean, you&#8217;re not going to be home until after midnight&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Dave&#8217;s wife: I&#8217;m going to call you at home at 8:30pm, you better be there.  It doesn&#8217;t take you 2 and half hours to get home.  Don&#8217;t go to the bar when you finish golf, don&#8217;t drink a beer, go straight home.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s going on here?  I don&#8217;t get it.  Why can&#8217;t Dave hang out with me?  I mean, it would be different if she was at home waiting for him.  But she&#8217;s not, she&#8217;s at practice, and she won&#8217;t be home until after midnight.  What, she wants Dave to sit at home by himself?  And why can&#8217;t he have a beer?<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s fucking bullshit.  That crap would NEVER fly with me.  I don&#8217;t care who you are, NOBODY tells me what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Dave and I spent a few minutes trying to figure out what her reasoning behind the whole thing was.  I can&#8217;t figure it out.  Why did she order Dave to go home and wait 3 hours for her to come home?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Marriage is a prison.&#8221;  &#8211;  Dave Finn, et al<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave&#8217;s wife has hula practice every day this week, in preparation for the big show on Saturday night.
