Slight left turn: My statistical sample of two women says something's odd
with all of them. Two examples:

1) You're watching a movie. Someone is about to say something VERY
important to the plot of the movie, and it's plainly obvious to any
regular person that it's going to be whispered. At that precise moment,
women will say "pass the popcorn". It's always when you're watching
something you can't rewind.

2) This has happened multiple times, so I know it's an absolute thing. I'm
in the back of the boat, steering with the tiller on the outboard. We're
in a river known for lots of floating tree chunks, travelling at
log-appropriate speed. Woman's sitting up front, and claiming she will let
me know if she sees anything. When she does, she announces it in a voice
appropiate for the bedroom, not for a situation where there's 75 db of
motor noise. When I (with great respect) mention this discrepancy, I'm
told I'm grouchy.


I've posted this story before .... can't remember if on this NG or not so
forgive if it's a repeat, but here goes:

A few years ago we had the RV bug, thinking of using it for winter trips to
Florida and other warms places.
So, I went out and bought a 36' Pace Arrow class A motorhome ... looks like
a bus.
I drove it home and was attempting to back it into a narrow, tree lined,
gravel parking spot that had a dog leg in it. The RV was equipped with a
rear facing camera on the back that I could monitor from the driver's seat.

So, I asked Mrs.E. to go behind the RV and make sure I wasn't going to hit
anything as I backed in.
As I started to back up, she gave me the "come on back" signal with her
hands, then suddenly started shaking her head from side to side. I jammed
on the brakes. She looked up at the camera, and started to give me the hand
signals to back up again. Started moving the rig backwards and she again
started shaking her head violently from side to side. Jam on the brakes
again.

This was repeated a couple of more times and I finally threw the RV in Park,
jumped out and asked her why she was shaking her head everytime I started
backing up. Her answer?

"I was saying, "No .... you are not going to hit anything"".
