There is one song that I can sing through to completion and get the words right. That song is Always by Bon Jovi. That man understands love and anyone who disagrees is incapable of doing the same.

Hahaha! So good.

[bundabergdevil]

Hahaha! So good.

I feel like you think I’m joking.

New Jersey's answer to John Cougar?

New Jersey's answer to John Cougar?

Was John Cougar a question?

[YmoBeThere]

Was John Cougar a question?

Only if Jon Bon Jovi and John Cougar (Mellencamp) are comparable in musical stature. They are both in the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They are both in the R&R HoF. Jon is taller by an inch supposedly.

[Bostondevil]

Ok. Bon Jovi sucks. Like really bad.

Yeah, but it's still French for good jovi.

[OldPhiKap]

Yeah, but it's still French for good jovi.

And “bad” in German apparently means “bath” (or a type of spa).

My wife has a hard time with it, but maybe it's her wording.

"Alexa, you b$%ch, turn the lights on." didn't work for her last night.

Note to any who don't remember: The "good Jovi" comment is a call back.

(Full story, skip if you remember it, when we were still dating my husband turned to me one time and said, "Do you know that Bon Jovi is French for good Jovi?" I laughed so hard I nearly wet my pants and to this day I cannot tell that joke without cracking myself up. It's Pavlovian at this point. Also - I'm convinced that my laughing at ALL of my husbands dumb jokes is why he married me. Also - almost none of my husband's dumb jokes are puns. Question - is the good Jovi joke a pun? I think it isn't, but opinions may differ.)

Not a pun. Straight translation. Still not sure what Jovi is . . .

According to the Google….


Jovi is a Slavic diminutive of Jovan, meaning “God is gracious”. Jovi is also a Latin name meaning “Jove-like, majestic”

[ClemmonsDevil]

“Jove-like, majestic”

For the rest of our time here I shall be referred to as "Clem Jove".

needed a new watch, same as I've had for years, Seiko self winding, nothing fancy but works great, no batteries, etc. Bought via Amazon, delivery date some time in October....moments ago a guy pulls into the driveway in a beat up Nissan, clutching a wee Fedex package for me...it was the watch, straight from Japan, warranty and instructions all in Japanese...very odd, but hey, if that's how they want to source it...

Possible grey market item. Nothing wrong with that unless you’re an authorized dealer or the manufacturer trying to manipulate the selling price.

it came in a fancy, official Seiko box, but no English literature whatsoever, all Japanese...the price was normal, no bargain, not sure what the deal was, but it works.

Yeah grey market goods are the really deal. They are just made and packaged for specific markets. My aunt use to do a lot of NGO work in Singapore. The electronics prices were like half compared to the UK prices. Import/Exporter started taking advance of that. The college text book market is any other areas.

The other reason would be it’s been diverted because of the supply chain or they forgot the English manual.
