I've had that same conversation many, many times.

Me: helping to cary in the groceries and proceed to put things away
Her (in humorous yet sarcastic voice): "That's right, make sure you put the beer away first!"

Her (looking at a 993 in the driveway): You bought a new car today??
Me: Well, it's 2 years old. But I told you this morning that I would probably by a car today if I found the right one. You said, "Do whatever you want."
Her: Well, I didn't think you were SERIOUS.

A few years ago I was considering purchase of a Cayman S as a DD. For some reason my wife thought I was talking about selling my '88 Carrera to get the Cayman. After I explained she said, "Why would you want 2 Porsches?" I said, "People often say there are no stupid questions, but that was a stupid question!" She wasn't pleased by my comment.

Really? Are you still married or is she available?

My wife's first words after getting out of my 911 at Laguna were "BARRRF…ACK...DON'T EVER ASK ME TO DO THAT AGAIN!"

A few years ago I was looking at a pre-owned side-by-side ATV....

She: You're not bringing that ATV home tonight are you?
Me: No!
The next evening my newly purchased ATV get's delivered to our house by the seller (I didn't have a trailer at the time so he agreed to deliver it).
She: I thought you weren't going to buy it?!?
Me: What?!? You asked me last night if "I was going to bring it home last night?" Well, I didn't...it got delivered tonight!
She: That's not what I meant!!!

I don't hear it now, Mike. I have honed that selective listing skill over the years to the point that I can give talks on the subject.

~10 years ago Wife is getting a little frustrated while working on one of those twisted nail puzzles.
"How does this one work?"
I answered, "That one turns the opposite way."

My tone of voice must have been off a little. Her reply, "Well don't be a smartass?" "All things don't work the same."

Almost a Berra-ism. We use that all of the time with each other now.
