The danger of two geeks in one household

Me: "Can you think of a reason why my machine would out of nowhere today say that it doesn't have a sound card installed?"

Him: "Yeah, I removed your sound card. I needed the firewire."

Me: "Were you planning on telling me about this?"

Him: "Yeah."

I'm half-inclined to come up with a reason why I need something out of his machine, let's see how he likes me gettin' all frankenstein on him, eh?!?

Then he gave me googstructions [I claim rights on all future use of that term] on how to install the driver for the one on my motherboard: "Google Dell SC400 FAQ and you'll see a link to a forum post that has a link to the FAQ in it. In that FAQ is a link to the driver you need."

Said a friend in a two-geek household, upon hearing this story: "That's why [wife] has a laptop. It's hard for me to steal bits from it."

OMG how did I miss this? I'm laughing out loud...not just using that trite internet expression to mean I appreciate your humor, but literally stifling laughter so my beloved doesn't wonder what's afoot in the kitchen. :) "Going all frankenstein" - classic!!
