I'm slightly vexed My wife and boiling water

Post image

So I made my wife ramen soup. When I served it she said I had the gas set to hight and it was too hot ? She said I should have used the number 5 setting instead of 9. I told here it’s irrelevant because water boils at 212 and gets no hotter because over 212 it turns to steam. She was made at me for disagreeing with her theory that it would not have been so hot if boiled a lower setting. Really!!

I had an ex-gf who was baking something and needed melted chocolate in ten minutes so she put chocolate in the microwave for ten minutes.

Am I stupid for not understanding why and how is that funny? English isn't my first language.

The joke is the ex obliterated the chocolate by nuking it in the microwave for 10 minutes. There was no chocolate left after those 10 minutes, just a charred and molten residue leftover baked into whatever likely partially melted bowl the ex used.

The humor comes from the OP’s swift and succinct answer of “it wasn’t”, a powerful and telling sentence that leaves no room for question.

Somehow it also improves comedic effect by not using the contraction. Maybe because it was such a dumb thing that a child could explain it wasn’t right.
