Julinelle was offended at how her husband introduced her to his friends, although he said nothing either sexist or specifically critical of her, used no language she disapproved of, and revealed no secrets of hers. Virtually any wife would be offended at being introduced this way. How come?? | ||

Did he use her name? Did he mention that she was his wife? Did he use circumlocution? Did he tell the truth? | ||

Was it what he said that offended her? Or the way he said it? Did he make air quotes or use a sarcastic voice when he said the word "wife"? | ||

And now here's a question for you: Did your parents get the name 'Balin' from Malory? No, that's just my username. I got it from "Lord of the Rings". My real name is Matt. Anyway... Did he introduce her in one sentence? One phrase? More? | ||

It was unclear. He's pretty stupid. *****SPOILER ****** The notorious;y stupid Ted Baxter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show introduced his wife as "This is my first wife, Georgette." Sorry it was so easy, but I hope it was fun. Check out my new puzzle below!! | ||
