alright, here's something funny, but in a not so funny way, yet, I have the giggles about it. probably better than crying.

I organize the finances. H was in charge of a fantasy football pool. One of the winners is an out of towner. So H mailed him a check for almost $400. He mailed this check about 6 weeks ago. The check still has not been cashed. So I called and left him a message to call me at work.
He calls me about 5 minutes later.
"What's up?" (he sounded sort of irritated maybe, or annoyed)
"Hey, thanks for calling me back. Did you ever talk to the fantasy football guy about the check? Do you know if he even received it?"
"I sent him an email two weeks ago, but I don't recall getting a reply."
"Alright, well the money is still in our account and I want to make sure he got it. It's $400. That's not chump change."
"I'll try and contact him again and see what's up. Just pretend the money isn't there."
"It's not a big deal, but no one wants to owe money and I esp. hate to owe an individual money. Let me know if he responds."

And then there was silence.

H says "Is that all?"
"Yeah, I was just wondering as I'm sitting here figuring out the finances."

More silence.

Me--"Alright, get back to work, I'll talk to you later."
H--with an obvious tone of relief says "Ok, tah-tah."

Lesson I've learned: H and I OBVIOUSLY fight too much on the phone. Need to stop that RIGHT NOW.
