Nope, she wasn't bitchin' about it. Unlike Jack, she likes it! :o

I regularly answer "Here and there" when anyone asks me where I've been lately.
It's so wonderfully non-committal!

Thought of some more.....
I also like to use "I don't need your money, I ain't in the poorhouse" at work when someone offers me loose change at the vending machnes. They don't get the connection and just think I am messing about.
If someone asks me for a pencil sharpener, I say: "What's the matter with you? There's a thousand of 'em."
When it is lunchtime, I sometimes announce: "Supper's on the stove!"
My work colleagues just don't understand my obsession. One woman does and she often gives me a wink. "Good for you", I say.
What fun!

I am an Aussie living in the UK. Shortly after Brokeback Mountain the movie was released, I was in the US. At a party, I got talking to a friendly woman with a Southern drawl. It must have been obvious to her that I am gay (my partner was there with me) yet when I asked her where her husband was, she said: "He's off on ANOTHER fishing trip. I swear, that man spends more time with his buddy fishing than he does with me!"
There was not a shred of irony in what she said. She just said it, matter of fact. Brokeback was quite a news item at the time, so I cannot believe she hadn't heard anyhting about it at all.
I just stared straight ahead, knowing that if I caught my partner's eye I would burst out laughing.
I wonder if she ever saw the movie?
