My husband and I discussed an unexpected topic.

Sometimes a phrase taken out of context can cause a lot of trouble. But sometimes it can be a reason for a loud laugh! Website It tells a funny story about a married couple and “curious Barbara”, between which there was a slight misunderstanding.





As you know, in any women's team there is a lady who needs to know everything. She likes to spend hours discussing other people’s lives, supplementing them with her own conjectures. There is such a madam at my work - "Curious Barbara".

My husband and I work in the same company, our offices are nearby. And every day the husband takes lunch for two in a liter of metal thermos. We have given him the name of a bullet.

Today my husband comes to me and says,

- So, can I get you a two-hundred-millimeter shell?

- Yes, carry it. – I answer, but I think that the thermos seems to be somewhat smaller.

At this point, our "Barbarian" comes into my office, and I continue:

- Wait, what other twenty centimeters? There's ten of them.

"Barbarian" is already holding his breath and standing, not moving. The husband comes up and takes the ruler from my desk, saying he'll go measure and say the exact size. Leaving. Our "curious Barbara" eyes burn with curiosity.

After a couple of minutes, the husband comes back and says joyfully:

- Measured! Ten centimeters!

"Barbara" casts a sad glance at her husband, then sympathetically looks at me and asks in a sad voice:

- Only ten?!

- That's in diameter! the husband replies.

What eyes she had...
