Reasons Geeks Make Good Husbands

Jan sent this fun list to us of why Geeks make great husbands and fathers. I'm part Geek and really enjoyed this list.

Playing vs Silly Adult Talk
During a party, while Brad and Muffy are over talking stocks and bonds with the rest of the 'adults', I'll be outside playing laser-tag with the neighborhood kids. (Side note: Bushes provide great hiding - but laser's can get through the thin ones.)

Zero chance of cheating on wife
Let's face it - that's just way too much effort. I'm excited I fooled got one to marry me. I'd rather sit and watch "Real Genius" than go wooing in some bar. So, what exactly did they do with all that popcorn?

Zero chance of divorce
OK, there may be times I need to actually walk away from the computer, but, as in number 3 above, we got one hooked, let's not blow it here. Again - way too much effort to go through all that dating stuff again.

100% chance of yearly Renaissance Faire trips
Now what kid doesn't like watching some guy on a horse with a big stick try to hit some other guy on a horse with an equally big stick, all while slurping on the pickle juice dripping down their arms from the pickle on a not so big stick.

Free TiVo
Buy a TiVo? Gasp - who would think of such a thing, when you can build your own with the wonderful MythTV. Now the kids can catch up on the latest "Scooby Doo's" and "Myth Buster's".

Free science lessons
Yea, honey. I really am building this 20 foot model rocket for the kids - it's educational.

Free tours of the local fire house
See above.

All clocks in the house set to the atomic clock
Now, the kids won't be a nanosecond late for school. Now, only if I could fix all those blinking VCR clocks in the world.

Upgrades, upgrades, upgrades!
Yes, that's right, son, our house computer network is now 101.253 times more powerful than Nasa.

Geek love for the wife
Just think of the Darth Vader scene at the Moon Walk in "Revenge of the Nerds". "Wanna do it on the Moon ?"…
