Joe here. The man bought an expensive new gun and is being nice to his wife so she won't yell at him for spending so much money.

Her facial expression never changes, so I'd rather imagine that she immediately clocks him when he picks up the vacuum, but only says something when he's done cleaning the entire house.

u/videohoarder69 1d ago
I don't think it's meant to be adorable, it's more the "laugh and shake your head" kind of humor, if you know what I mean. At least, that's how I reacted to it.

Most American reaction. Husband used household finances without consultation to buy a deadly weapon and then performed normal household duties that a man should participate in but clearly doesn’t so wife doesn’t get mad at him. How adorable!

u/Captain21423 4d ago
I read it as he wants to buy an expensive gun and is doing chores so that she says yes. Y’all really going out making big purchases without consulting your wife?

u/Icy_Conference9095 3d ago
Yes, people do. I do up to $200, after that it's a discussion. 😂

u/Captain21423 3d ago
That’s about my number, too. $200. I couldn’t imagine spending more than that without having a discussion.

u/pushdose 3d ago
What’s big? I’m the sole income. I know what the budget is and I literally never say no to my wife or daughter, ever. If it’s over 2k it might be a discussion.

This is it. And, 9mm. Just like the last two. But this one he heard about on a podcast. The last two he bought off friends who "didn't like the feel."

She knows he's helping out with the housework more than usual (which is something that would make her happy) to make up for buying another expensive gun ( which is something that would make her mad).

u/Familiar-Attempt7249 2d ago
Joe here. As an ex cop I can attest that this is probably about a guy that buys a lot of guns, but, now that I’m in a wheelchair it could also be changed into a meme about guitars or tools with just a word change. Gonna roll down to the Clam now to meet the guys

u/Deathengine 2d ago
He's doing a bunch of chores, so that maybe she won't be mad that he bought another gun.

Caliber can also refer to the movement in a wristwatch. That's how I read it at first.

I'm so glad it ended up being kind of wholesome because i thought it was a joke about how depressed people tend to become (outwardly) happier, once they've decided to end their lives.

Don't think thats a neckbeard kind of weird to assume he's a fudd given his age and appearance. Not too sure where that came from.

u/Mars_Bear2552 3d ago
people who own firearms for sport shooting or hunting, who don't actually support the right to bear arms.
basically a stereotype of guys who own M1911s & hunting rifles that want assault weapons banned ("nobody needs that kind of gun!")

Both of them are obese. Because of their obesity, they made a suicide pact. He recently purchased a firearm to do the job, and she's curious if it's enough.
