Saturday morning I got up early, dressed quietly, made my lunch, grabbed
the dog, slipped quietly into the garage to hook the boat up to the truck,
and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour.
The wind was blowing 50 mph. I pulled back into the garage, turned on the
radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad throughout the day.
I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed.
There I cuddled up to my wife's back, now with a different anticipation,
and whispered, 'The weather out there is terrible.'
My loving wife of 20 years replied, 'Can you believe my stupid husband is
out fishing in that mess?'
I still don't know to this day if she was joking, but I've stopped fishing.
I told my wife that I was either wanting to go fishing or perhaps staying home with the idea of ..., she told me to take a sweatshirt, it's chilly out this time of day

Well, on that note, thought I'd add a list of country songs on the subject. Can't vouch that all exist, but I remember many from when I worked in Texas and we used to talk about them.
I Still Miss You Baby, But My Aim’s Gettin’ Better
She Got The Ring And I Got The Finger
If I Can’t Be Number One In Your Life, Then Number Two On You
If I Had Shot You When I Wanted to, I’d Be out By Now
You’re the Reason Our Kids Are So Ugly
All My Exes Live in Texas
I Thought She Was Out Jogging,
But She Was Running Around On Me
If the Phone Don’t Ring, It’s Me Not Calling You Up
If Love were Oil, I’d be a Quart Low
How Come Your Dog Don’t Bite Nobody But Me?
I’m Gettin’ Gray From Being Blue
If You Can’t Live Without Me, Why Aren’t You Dead Yet?
I Sat Down On a Beartrap (Just This Morning)
Mama Get The Hammer (There’s A Fly On Papa’s Head)
She Made Toothpicks Out Of The Timber Of My Heart
Guess My Eyes Were Bigger Than My Heart
If Fingerprints Showed Up On Skin,
Wonder Whose I’d Find On You
I Keep Forgettin’ I Forgot About You
Liked You Better Before I Knew You So Well
Gave Her My Heart And a Diamond
And She Clubbed Me With a Spade
It’s Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night that Chew Your Ass Out All Day Long
If Whiskey Were A Woman I’d Be Married For Sure
Forget the Night, Help Me Make It Through the Door
I Can’t Love Your Body if Your Heart’s Not In It
I Just Fell In Something and I Sure Hope It’s Love
I’m So Miserable Without You, It’s Like Having You Here
Since You Bought The Waterbed We’ve Slowly Drifted Apart
