My wife knows that if I say “Honey, I need to do that thing with my butt” she knows I have to poop, with everyone else listening blissfully unaware.

That sounds so much worse than just saying you need to poop.

When my wife can’t remember someone’s name, she’ll grab my hand and squeeze it with two quick squeezes “Help. Me.”.

That’s my cue to either work their name into a comment/question or, if I don’t know them, introduce myself followed by a “And you are…?”. Works pretty well all of the time.

Of course, being together so long, and loving to fuck with each other’s heads when we can, sometimes I’ll just stand there and give them my best Aussie “owzitgoin?”, and watch my wife squirm. That’s usually when the nails dig into my hand, hoping to draw blood.

Worth it.

If we are together one of us will use the phrase “Is there Lemon in this?” And hold up our drink which is code for get me out if this conversation/situation.

If we aren’t in the same room. We pull out our phone and text Save Me. Then the other person comes and finds you to say that So and So needs them immediately. Yadda, yadda.

If you did that in front of me I would pick up on it immediately, without any prior knowledge of your code.

I swear people who use sloppy codes think the rest of us are stupid.

Both my wife and my friends know this one.

If you ever see me drinking a Bud Light Lime, talking about Bud Light Lime, or requesting a Bud Light Lime, that means I’m likely being held against my will. Come back with the police.

So you keep a bud light lime on you at all times, just in case? Wont that simply result in your GF ignoring the sign, since you always have one on you?

Nah, don’t need to actually have one. Just need to request one.

“Hey man, haven’t heard from you in a while. You alright?”

“Yeah, everything’s great man. Just sitting here drinking a Bud light lime.”

“Bud light lime? For real?”

“Yeah, man. Definitely a bud light lime kind of day.”

“You need me to call the cops?”

“Sure thing man. Thanks for checking in.”

Hell, it doesn’t even need to be in production anymore.
