The Dinks' marriage.

How on earth do you think they could stay married, especially with the way Tippy acts towards Bud? I mean seriously, Mr. Dink is very eccentric, while Mrs. Dink on the other hand is sarcastic, also lethargic about her own husband. I think I also remember when Mr. Dink was asking his wife if she remembers when he first tried to ask her to dance and she said that she remembered saying "Go away and leave me alone." There has to be something Tippy loved about Bud for them to stay married for so long.

All I need is one mic...

I agree. I think she's the one that keeps him grounded and such.

I thnk they have a great marriage Tippy loves Mr. Dink she just loves giving Bud a hard time because he's whacky and his inventions are over the top but deep down she really loves him. Oh and you missed te rest of the dialogue in the ep doug can't dance whe Mr. dink said "oh you do remmber our first dance but remember when you finally said yes? she didn't say anything after that so it's gotta be true so I think it was his personality and the fact that he's harmless is what won her over.

Well, they say opposites attract!

Well, that comes from a time when sarcasm wasn't seen, in the way our current politically correct society is right now. I don't think she hates him in anyway, it was just a way of saying that right now she can't answer.

Nowadays, you can't joke about something or else it could land you in jail or worse.
