I know you guys are reffering to the old lady on the back but I cant figure out SWMBO

LOL

She Who Must Be Obeyed!

[Jerry]

As opposed to SWMO...She Who Must Obey....

[Jerry]

SWMBO is actually a reference to a character in a book:

•••••••••••••••
Modjadji the Rain Queen, "She Who Must Be Obeyed"

South of Venda is the land of Modjadji, the rain queen who inspired H. Rider Haggard's immortal "She".

The reference I know for SWMBO (She Who Must Be Obeyed) comes from the British courtroom comedy, Rumpole of the Bailey. "Rumpole is married to Hilda, to whom he refers as 'She Who Must Be Obeyed.'"

Rumpole of the Bailey

IMHO, FWIW, YMMV, etc.

I'm sure glad I don't have that problem. What woman would let me rebuild a VW bug engine on the kitchen table. ;o)

Engine rebuilds....

Geezer - you'd be surprised.... there was a time I had a Honda 400 engine in bits in the dining room on the workbench that I had put together there especially....

It was SWMBO'd engine however... so maybe some mixed feelings from her on that one
