CRASH!!!
Preface: This is the morning after Bossipoo(™) had been in an auto accident. His car was stopped on an offramp, and a woman rear-ended his SUV going full highway speed. (Miraculously, he's fine.)
Me: Oh, my god. I can't even convey how insanely relieved I am that you're OK. I had a totally irrational "what if I'd lost you" wig out last night.
Him: Thanks. I hate having those "what if I'd lost me" nights. ;) Seriously though. It all happened so fast. Really reminds you how fragile life is.
Me: Absolutely. Especially the life of someone who can make me laugh at a time like this. Ya dayum goofball. *warmfuzzy*
Him: *alsowarmfuzzy*

Where's the trust?
Him: Did that scheduling email fall thru the cracks somehow?
Me: Not at all, oh ye of little faith.
Him: Hey! I only asked cuz he replied like he hadn't heard from you. Did he just miss it?
Me: Yep. He'll get to it shortly, I'm sure. People reply to emails everyday without getting thru the rest of their inbox first, sillypants.
Him: Ah. Well y'see, I just naturally assume everyone treats your emails with the highest possible priority.
Me: Nice save.

Me: You ARE aware it isn't the safest thing for a single girl to have strangers in her living space on a semi-regular basis, right?
Him: I thought you knew 12 different ways to kill a man with your bare hands. No?
Me: -_-

And so it begins...
Bossipoo™and I have a frighteningly similar pithy/quirky sense of humor, that I thought it wise to catalog as many exchanges as my busy work day will allow me to capture.
We'll start today with a simple Bossipoo nonsensical quote...
"That's the problem with fingers, is that you hafta use them."
