I laughed at the meme..my wife is like "what?"

I sighed and said are you sure you want me to explain it?

She was like, do you want to?

I'm like this has many layers. None of which are in a direction you care about.

"It's a comic where JRR Tolkien says "Gandalf" is actually pronounced "Jandalf", a reference to the dumb side of the gif/jif debate. Also someone in the comments posted a denim-clad Gandalf since denim versions of things are often called that thing but with a "J" at the start of the name."

You see though, I would have to explain the gif / jif debate. Then I would have to explain what a gif is

Then I would have to explain what a Gandalf is.

And the way I would have to explain what a Gandalf is, is to remind her of the character with a stick from the lego game where you had to get up to swap characters... But he is also from lord of the rings.

Then I have to explain what lotr is. And how it's different from Harry Potter.

And in the end she would say. "That's stupid"

She must be insanely attractive.

I told her "someone said you must be insanely attractive"

She said why?

I said because of that post I made the other day about gif jif Gandalf jandalf.

She said "why would they say I must be insanely attractive because of that post?"

I said... Because you must be insanely attractive for me to put up with it. But they said you must be insanely attractive!

"That doesn't make sense" she said. "I'm insanely adorable."

🤦

Haha.

Well, she does sound adorable and you clearly communicate. Lucky you. Am kinda jealous, tbh.

All the best!
