So often those few savored moments on the phone are spent dealing with the latest crisis that there is little time for laughter.

I love the times my sweetheart and I take to laugh and enjoy life! So, I'm starting this thread to share those funny things that wouldn't make sense to the rest of the world.

Tonight when our phone call was almost over, he stopped as though to 'warn' me...in a straight voice he said "if I ever go up (to my room) at 4:00 and just stand there, yell out 'Clear' and I'll come back down" and then added "and if you ever want me to come to dinner, just yell 'mainline open'"

Please feel free to share your inside funny moments as well.

I sure wonder what it will be like when we are free to be we.

Ok first off my man is crazy. LOL!!! We talked Saturday night around 11:30 pm. He knew that I was in the bed. He told one of the guys in there that he was going to call and wake me up so we could talk. (He used to do that when he was home too. He would wake me up just to talk to him. LOL!!!) Then he tells me that we are going to practice abstinence. OMG!!!! I was like baby, that is what we are doing right now. LOL!!! When you get home, I don't think so. He was like, you know I'm joking. I was like you better be. He has a funny sense of humor though. LOL!!! But that's my baby!

When Linda came up to visit me the first time, we talked a bit about family things, then for a moment she went silent, then asked:

"Did you miss it that much?" I looked at her funny and asked miss what?

She said sea duty.

Of course, I fell for it and asked what do you mean do I miss sea duty?

She said: "Ok, on the ship you had this tiny little bunk in a tiny little cabin, in prison you have this tiny little bunk in a tiny little room, on the ship you had muster in the morning, before and after watch and at noon, in prison you have count.

On the ship you had a bunch of officers telling you what to do, in prison you have a bunch of officers telling you what to do.

On the ship you had lousy food, in prison you have lousy food!

On the ship we talked via collect calls once a week, in prison, collect calls once a week.

So Patti I ask you again, did you miss sea duty that much?"

I answered:

"No, I really did not miss sea duty that much, but now I don't at all for I have all of the above here, except one thing - in prison I have not gotten seasick once!"

Linda failed to see the humor in my response.

One night, two of my roommates and I were sitting on our beds, engrossed in books. Suddenly and without warning, the CO put his hand into the room and switched off the lights. We were in mid-book... and we had been abruptly cast into darkness!!! In unison (and this was totally unrehearsed), we declared, "How rude!"

The CO must have heard us calling him "rude." The very next evening, at lights-out time, he stepped into the room and asked, "Ladies, are you ready?"

We said that we were ready. He turned off the light and said, "Good night, ladies." And we said "good night."

The other night when I 'forgot' to take my home phone off of forwarding -My husband called me. I was at a friends house signing some papers with them and when he called I said -there's Michael. I answered and said Hi Honey -Me and the kids are at Richard and Erika's house signing papers..He was SILENT. I thought for sure he would say tell them hello, etc..he was just quiet. Finally I said, okay I will talk to you tomorrow. The next day I asked him what was up and he said he was SUPRISED I actually said WHERE I was at. OOPS...I had completely forgotten to pretend I was at home for his call......:D

My favorites are:

1. At 6:05 on a chilly Saturday morning I'll answer the phone and the first think I hear is "Snuggle Closer."

2. In the car, while driving to work in the morning, he'll call and the first thing I hear is "Is this the most beautiful woman on Cleveland Avenue?"

3. During the afternoon, he'll use one minute and to say, " I just called to make you smile."

4. My all time favorite, is when I say hello, and the first thing he says is "I Love You."

Carolyn...lmao! Sensored...
