No he didn't . . .

Please Note CSI NY Consumer Products Forensics Lab has scientifically determined the following:

ManTool grime, exact composition to be determined at a later date by GCMS (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry) was transferred into the crevices of the damn toothpaste lid during the commission of the lid removal attempt. The degree to which the grime was embedded testifies to the paramount force exerted on lid. Furthermore, tool marks would indicate rotational force exerted in the proper direction, determined by a lid algorithm to be that of counter-clockwise. Depth & severity of tool marks are directly proportional to the quantitative torque applied.

Submitted for your review, Exhibit A:

Without considering facts in evidence & upon learning about my toothpaste lid adventure, Man had but one query:

Are you sure you were turning it the right way?

Seriously, I am the only one strapped with a spouse who insists on always asking the Capt. Obvious questions as if my IQ is anything other than "above average"?

My response, complete with a condescending snort:

No, we (WonderWoman & I) were turning it the left way. I know how to properly screw.

What I wanted to say, but didn't because of that whole peace-in-the-marriage, respect-your-partner, let-thine-words-be-dripping-with-honey bit: Screw you.

But, I didn't because I'm not that kind of Frau. I love my Man, ass asinine questions & all.
