This morning a friend let me know his wife of 24 years told him she thought the name of the iconic Beatles song Hey Jude was "Hey Jewels". Not even "Hey Jules" but "Hey Jewels".  It came up last night when they saw a news story of McCartney playing a recent concert.  My friend told the wife he is currently touring and she asked if he still played Hey Jewels. After making sure he heard her correctly and asking if she was serious he found out about the jewels and not jules aspect. After the laughter subsided he told her the actual title. She said she had always wondered why the song wasn't used in jewelry commercials as she thought the song was about cheering someone up with the gift of jewelry.

What's the craziest thing your wife/so believed that was way off?

 
My now wife visited me in my office one afternoon when we were dating.  At the time we were doing a fair amount of business in Canada, so I had a map of North America pinned up next to my computer.  

She looked at the map and said:

"why are they showing Alaska attached to Canada?"

:lmao: wow

 
A few years back when driving with my SIL I said we're going 60mph so we'll be there in about an hour.  Apparently she didn't realize that at a speed of  X miles per hour you will be able to travel X miles in an hour.

No lie, she has an MBA as well.

My wife didn't understand for the longest time how I gauged with accuracy how far and how long road trips were in Florida which is very easy, they typically have mile markers in coordination with the exits. Example, the mile marker is roughly 109 on the Fl Turnpike which in conjunction is Exit 109 where you get off for our little town. So if you know you are driving to Exit #245 and you are at mile marker 120...doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out you have about 125 miles or 1.5-2 hours depending on traffic or how fast you want to risk it.  She refused to believe me and even laughed at the notion for the longest time, she's not laughing anymore...of course that could be due to a lot of things.

You deserve each other.

 
Not my wife, but wife of buddy:

He took her to her first Trail Blazers NBA game a few years ago.  Portland gets up early and the Rose Garden is rocking.  Opposing coach signals TO, and as the fans cheer the PA announcer states, "[Other team] calls twenty second timeout."  Buddy's wife leans over and yells over the crowd noise, "They've already called twenty-one timeouts?!?!" 

Of course this same gal thought Stevie Miller was singing "Big Old Jed Had a Light On."

You come along and want to jaw so I jawed with you. I asked if you had a better half, perhaps 5-6-7-8...you are 1-2-3-4...then I'm weird, OK. 

And just for the record, OPM and I do just fine on our own.

Besides, you all don't recognize good old fashioned dry humor as well as he does.

Well...ok then.

Say man, that's really wild

 
Weren't "hey Jules" the original lyrics?  Seem to remember an interview where Paul said it was written for Julian Lennon but Jules was too much of a mouthful.

My wife refuses to believe that you can multiply a number by itself and get 2.

 
I got a betteer one.

On our second honeymoon, we went to Nova Scotia. My wife asked why the tides in the Bay of Fundy were so high.

I said "because we're closer to the moon."

She said "REALLY!??"

 
No way you can top this one.

My wife is a somewhat Seinfeld fan.  One day after getting a bit exasperated, she said to me "Surrender Me Now!" and gave me a knowing smile.  I was like, what was that???

It's an ongoing joke 4 years later

 
True story, my wife was singing "Sweet Caroline" in the car one day.  She gets to the chorus and I hear "sweet cherry wine, bom bom bom".   I just about wrecked.

 
Not my wife, but her mother. She called my wife and asked, "How do you spell thoral?"  Wife had no idea what word she was trying to spell. "You know, thoral. Like 'I thoroughly enjoyed that.'  If someone's trying to be thoral. It doesn't look right however I spell it."

 
There are too many from my wife to list, and some I could never reveal in public. But she used to think the lyric from sweet home Alabama was "what, a gay doesn't bother me."  I'm like, boy do you have that song wrong. 

She's really hot and a good mom.

My wife thought Sharp Dressed Man was Shy Glass Man.   

 
Worked near a very blonde girl in the office a while back and one day she received an email from a guy while she was talking to him on the phone. His email signature contained his address, which was in King of Prussia. She laughed and told him that she was the queen of England. You could then tell from her side of the conversation that he was explaining that King of Prussia was a town in PA.

Also, I've known at least two people that thought a labtop was a kind of computer.

 
Was at Disney last month.  My Wife was never at Epcot before.... Upon entering the park she was like "Whoooooaaaaa...... I thought all the Countries / Lands were all in the Big Sphere"

I think the story goes that when John and Cynthia divorced, Paul sang a ballad called "hey Jules" to cheer up young Julian.

That balled evolved into the song Hey Jude.
