I showed this to my wife and all she said was, “See! Even bomb shelters have granite countertops. Why can’t we have granite countertops?”
Nuclear bombs going off, and she wants to have show off countertops.

Build a basic house over that puppy and you’d have a two story home.

All you’d need is land, your own well and some way of gre3nating your own electricity — and take it easy.

Tell her granite countertops give off radiation.

I’ve been married so long...I don’t even look both ways before crossing the street.

I haven’t spoken to my wife in over three months...we’re not fighting, I just don’t like to interrupt.

“I wouldn’t want to be a member of any club that would have me” Why she she stay married to me for 32 years? Women!

I did. She says that will help keep the food warm like a microwave countertop or something. She’s tricky like that.

“They grab him by the neck, throw him down an elevator and put him in a bunker”
Sounds like my Freshman year in the dorm.

You know, every can has its opener.

Congratulations! Everybody in your neighborhood saw your survival shelter being installed! And more than a few talked about it on FaceBook. When TSHTF, good luck trying to keep them out!

The Twilight Zone episode “The Shelter” deals with that very subject, believe it or not.
