Most husbands can. They learn to follow their own line of thought while at the same time listening to what their wives say. And the listening is important, because at any time they could be challenged and must be ready to quote the last sentence in full. A vital additional skill is being able to scan the dialogue for telltale phrases such as “and they can deliver it tomorrow” or “so I’ve invited them for dinner” or “they can do it in blue, really quite cheaply.”</blockquote><p><b>Terry Pratchett</b> (1948-2015) English author<br><i>Discworld</i> Series No. 24, <i>The Fifth Elephant</i> (1999)</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/pratchett-terry/78292/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/pratchett-terry/7829…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=terrypratchett" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>terrypratchett</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=discworld" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>discworld</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=attention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>attention</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dialog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dialog</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=distraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>distraction</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=husband" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>husband</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=listening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>listening</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=marriage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>marriage</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=payingattention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>payingattention</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wife</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=conversation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conversation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=communication" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>communication</span></a></p>

[…]<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Now from what I can see, there don’t seem to be any demand in Canada to join in with us and be murdered or run over with us. They strike me as entirely too sane a nation to fit in our scheme of things down home. Why, you can still buy a drink without having to take a whole case, and can believe in Evolution. You can do both of these things and not be considered an Atheist up here.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;They have the queerest ideas of what is right and wrong that way. Now I have no idea but what we could take them over and make a paying proposition out of them, for the country now is supplying about everything we use in the way of raw materials. But I hate to interrupt a friendship that has been going on now pretty steady since the battle of Lake Erie. You see they don’t owe us and they still think we are pretty good neighbors, so if we can just keep from annexing them, and keep from loaning them anything in the way of a government debt, why we ought to be friends for years to come.
