God damn it, I never make dad jokes, but the electrician just showed up and it is a husband+wife duo. I could not resist a "ah, power couple" and it fell flat, fam. IT FELL FLAT.
I'm sure they chuckled the first few times they heard it.
Having worked in retail I can tell you that they hear that joke every single day.
I appreciate the joke, but no tradesmen I've ever met would ever have work with their spouse. They can barely handle it when I, an expert at everything, look over their shoulder and tell them how to do their job, while also asking a thousand questions.
They want to make things awkward, huh?
I said A Real Power Couple.
A REAL POWER COUPLE.
