[quote=Anonymous]My ASD husband is an awful story teller. Including when the punchline is trying to make fun of me. But he has such a roundabout, backwards storytelling delivery ON PURPOSE or he just can't help himself, that I find it more funny to sit back not correct the story or clear it up and just WATCH people's faces.

First they can't tell WTF he is saying. He's telling useless detail trying to impress the listeners and keep them on their toes about what is he actually saying. After about 5 minutes of useless play by play with no point, half the people tune out.

But he keeps at it, more useless details, but delivered like a performing arts center so people cling on, hoping for something to make sense or have a point or tie together.

You can see their eyes and faces twist up as they dissect his superfluous grammer and attempt at a suspenseful tone. Some are beginning to think they've been had, nothing much has been said.

Then finally the actual 20 seconds of content is delivered, for those left processing anything.  They gasp!  Then they laugh at how 95% of what was said for 10 minutes of him in the airport, hotel, restaurant, CVS, had nothing to do with him going to the wrong rental car and finding a bunch of drugs in the trunk.

Then they never stick around for another long-winded nonsense story again. I of course, cannot. [/quote]
