This morning we were listening to the local news station, WSB, report on a missing woman. Turns out she's been murdered and her husband is a suspect. This is the third metro area woman in the last week or so that's died at the hands of a husband or boyfriend.

So I said to Alan, "Da-a-ng! All these chicks getting killed by their mens! [waggling finger] Don't you get any smart ideas, buddy!"

Alan (affronted): "It's because they sassed back! Now get your bitch-ass in the kitchen and make me some breakfast! Don't MAKE me put you in a pond!"

Okay, totally not PC I know, but "Don't MAKE me put you in a pond!" is now our new retort/threat whenever one of us isn't responding properly to the other.

So leave me a funny comment. Don't MAKE me put you in a pond.
