Over Memorial Day weekend, my husband's niece was raving about this book called "What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love & Marriage".
Basically, the author's point is that humans can be "trained" to do certain things and avoid bad behaviors with the same "reward" techniques used at SeaWorld. Devotees of the book call the technique "Shamu-ing".
The f*ck.
So I'm in my lounge chair by the pool, sipping a Captain Morgan & Diet and I notice my husband intently studying his Kindle.
That mofo downloaded the Shamu book.
Anyway. So it's Memorial Day weekend, and maybe the Captain & Cokes are going down pretty smooth and all my Twilight fanfiction has updated and Saturn is in the third house with Venus rising and Mr. Happy Hour is in for - well, a happy hour.
The next morning, he goes to the grocery store (?), comes back and says, and I quote: "Look! I got you sushi!"
No lie. Sushi. Like I'm a damn sea lion.
THEN he says "Oh- and I got cash- do you need any?"
Fish. And cash. That mofo is Shamu-ing me over last night's sex.
Me: Are you SHAMU-ING me????????

Him: What? No!
Me: How much cash did you get?
Him: 400.
Me: I'll take 3.

OMG! Thank you for the laughs! I'll have to watch out to make sure my hubby doesn't try the same thing. Although I wouldnt' mind the money.
ROTFL-I wanna be Shamu-ed, if involves hubby handing over money. I think Ill buy the book and leave it "lying around".

Holy Crap! I'm been shamu-ing for years!

splashing away... waiting for my treat!
Hrmm.
1-Beau randomly does a bunch of chores yesterday, one of my favorite favors...
2-Last week he handed me cash for no reason...
*Thinks back to last fun time*
*slowly does the math*
Damn, I'd be pissed but...is he READING and actual BOOK?!?!
AND I GET A CLEAN HOUSE AND SPENDIES?
*shrug*
Works for me!
I thought shamu-ing was a kinky sex thing and then I realized no one would want to be the whale in bed. (*insert horrid "harpooning" pun here*)
I don't even want to know what sort of Google traffic you get off a post with Shamu and Prostitution in the title...
You silly ORCA...I always get my money and dinner BEFORE I give ANY sex...well DUH...sny I mske him tske me to bsr w/ my girlfriends and watch us dance...I'm the best HO eva!!
OMG - that is hilar!
That's a good Shamu!!!!
hahaha, i haven't heard of this book but hilarious!!
I love it and am so getting this book!
Last night I fixed my hubby an iced coffee AND gave him a foot rub--he kept asking me, "what's the catch?" Hee!
Haha!!
Now I'm curious about that book. I've never heard of it before.
my husband has no idea why I break into fits of laughter while at the computer. (Specifically while visiting your blog.) And well, I was thinking... maybe he needs some shamu-ing. Only, that might take effort on my part. And yeah, well, no. Thanks. But you are the funniest. blogger. ever. Dooce? Who the hell is she? You rock.
You should have taken all 400!
I wonder is Shamu-ing would work on my husband???
OMG. I'm dying.
LOL I love this post. "The MOFO.." hee hee
Amazing how they respond, isn't it?
What did you do with the money? :)
I about spit my coffee out..I love you!!!!!!!
And thanks for the info..I will have to watch for this kind of shamu-ing. ;)
Is $400 the recommended amount in the book?
I'm all about that.
What?! Your husband went to the grocery store?! How the F did you get him to do that? And exactly how do I 'Shamu' mine into going to the store, or fixing the toilet?
Since I had forgotten the name of the new reading device this statement made me laugh out loud - "I notice my husband intently studying his Kindle."
How funny! I haven't heard of this book before.
The guy gets sniped and he still has to Shamu you?
You have got it made!
Now if he would just bring chocolate instead of fish.... I am sure he can be trained.
So funny! By the way, Bossy will take the other $100.
I would totally give my husband more sex if I got sushi and money afterwards. Now I just need to figure out how to make is seem like it's all HIS idea.
Ok that was hilarious, although shamu-ing sounds like a sex postion. Like maybe diving off a high place, like a dresser, and landing on him while he tosses sushi in your mouth?
LMAO!!! I actually have this book...Haven't read it yet...Might explain why I left my husband...Maybe he should have read it!
Oh I am SO finding me a man who is willing to do this!!
Shoot, let him read that stuff all he wants. Sushi and cash? I'd give it up for that!
