That also would have captured my sentiment, Thistle.
I should add, too, that this isn't necessarily a gender thing (although I'd guess that it's usually male academics with stay-at-home partners). It was only after sharing the absurdity of this interaction with two female colleagues that I realized that they both have partners who, although they don't stay-at-home, they might refer me to if I had questions about pot-bellied pigs or othe happenings around their house.
