How well do you know your spouse?

J. and I went out last night. Just the two of us. It was really nice. Granted, due to my backache I was a little (ok, a lot) crabby. I eventually drank enough to take the edge off. Well, I learned something new about my husband last night. I was really surprised.

Things that I know about my husband:

He only wears Stan Smith sneakers.
He his favorite writer is Tom Robbins.
He likes stupid movies like Caddyshack and Blazing Saddles.
He believes that Jim Morrison is still alive.
He hates the song, "I want you to want me" by Cheap Trick
He can't stand when I stack books on the desk, because he can't see the answering machine.
He is scared that I may have to drive his car again.
He wears a mouth guard at night to keep from grinding his teeth.
He has sleep jerks.
He sometimes wears clothes that don't match very well.

What I learned about my husband last night is that he often has violent feelings towards people with stinky breath. He explained to me how he feels it is a purposeful attack when someone has bad breath and they don't try to fix it. "HOW DO THEY NOT KNOW?!! THE WHOLE OFFICE SMELLS LIKE ASS!! It really makes me mad. I feel my fists balling up, you know what I mean?"

I started laughing so hard. My husband is not quick to anger, so to see such rage against someone with a medical condition, chronic halitosis, seemed a little silly. He thinks he's more susceptible to the smells because he has such a big nose.
