I offered to answer anything to Russ, since he is so open and honest. Here is his email:
Answer this in your journal if you like. But maybe wait for the fourth beer first! ;)

Some married couples have a shared joke that wouldn't make any
sense to people on the outside. What is yours? What is the story
behind it?
Pete and I have many because I'm always cracking jokes. The latest:
Russ: (picking up keys and heading out the door to go get beer or cigs or whatever)
Pete: "Where are you going?"
Russ: "To go find a REAL man."
Pete: "Pick one up for me too!"
We do that EVERYtime one of us goes to the store. It's a shared
joke between two people who love each other very much. We also say "I
hate you." alot because it's funny to us.
love, I mean 'hate',
Russ
We have so many. When Larry the Cable Guy gets heckled by someone in the audience, he always says "See ya at the house." like it's his wife. We end each phone conversation with a hick sounding "See ya at the house."
When I yell at the dog, "Get your fat, lazy, hairy ass outta my way!" Kevin responds, "but I'm not IN your way!"
When I hear Trace Adkins sing, I say "I'd drop you like a hot rock for that man." When Sara Evans sings, Kevin says, "I'd drop you like a hot rock for that woman." We would never leave or cheat, but it's fun to think about the folks that make us weak in the knees.
When one of us is worn out, almost asleep, or sore from old age, or...you get the idea, one will say, "you look like shit!" and the other will respond, "I'm not dead!" in our best Monte Python voice.
Kevin has had surgery on a shoulder, and needs more. He hurts all the time. He often says, "It's from carrying HER sorry ass for 11 years!"
Most of our references that wouldn't be understood by many are obscure movie references. We have odd movie tastes. We like the old cliche' movies like Smokie and the Bandit and Princess Bride and The Jerk.
Oh yeah, The Jerk. When we are letting the kids pick something out at the store, Kevin is likely to say something like: "you can have anything between the pencils and the chicklets, under the stuffed animals and above the toy dogs." Nobody else gets it.
That's us. We're weird and we wrestle and we play hide-and-seek and we make weird references in our jokes.

Frequently when my mother trying to get out the door but they keep getting distracted, my stepfather will look at her and say, "Get outta here! SHE is on her way over!" Of course, the same routine can be reversed.
When she does something ditzy while I'm visiting, he'll look at me and say, "She's YOUR mother!" To which I reply "Yeah, but YOU live with her!" Before I moved out, my reply would be "But YOU choose to be here!"
It's so nice to know that there are other Monty Python Geeks out there!! "I'm feeling better..."
xoxox,
