I guess it's one of those things where ya gotta be there to feel the thrill.
Today I have spent hours as I folded laundry and bought cat food
trying to think of direct objects for the verb think that didn't involve the word thoughts.
I can't tell you how the time flew.

She said she thinks I need a hobby.

That was funny. My girlfriend would say the same thing if I dared to tell her.

I tried to explain to my wife the excitement over the issue of who vs. whom. She said she thinks I need a hobby.

Tell her you already HAVE a hobby -- exploring the intricacies of English grammar.

As for the vexed issue of who vs. whom, let me quote Horace:

Grammataci certant et adhuc sub iudice lis est.
