I'm sorry you didn't get the humor there.
Let me map it out for you:
- Women are usually degraded with lines like "
You let her out of the kitchen? Why? Was the baby crying?" and the like.
- I was attempting to give you ladies a quick witted come-back to the chauvinistic beings known as men.
- The line "
She's done with the kitchen." refers to the WOMAN of the house finishing all the new cabinetry, counter tile and floor.
- The line "
Everything works great and looks good." refers to the WOMAN of the house completing the installation of the new appliances in said kitchen.
- The line "
Now she's busy rebuilding the engines in the Fountain." refers to her keen grasp of high horsepower marine engines and the maintenance required to enjoy such things as a Fountain.
What is a Fountain?
Here ya go:
BOTTOM LINE:
It was a compliment.
