Lesson on Implement Aqusition

Here's what I do. I start by having her hold a piece of metal or something while I drill a hole or grind around - all the time saying something like, "ya' know sweetums - I'm building this piece of equipment to save money so's you can get that new (insert whatever is appropriate / hair-do, dress, pair of shoes, etc.)and I really appreciate you helping me out". (DO NOT tell her the new equipment is stored over at the neighbor's barn!) Then, ya' bring the thing home a few pieces at a time and re-assemble, while banging around on stuff, grinding, and making other "building" sounds. Then when it's all done (assembled) well - there ya' go!!

I really never have tried this, but thought I'd get some opinions as to if it might work... whatdaya think?? Seems pretty dishonest doesn't it?

I bought a new tedder. Met the guy delivering at noon(my wife works) and put it behind the barn with 5 or 6 other pieces of equipment. Granted it was new and others are real old, but she doesn't pay attention.

It worked like a dream....until... the payment book came(4 years no interest, I couldn't resist). Of all days, it came on a Saturday when she got the mail. I was busted...

Oh well, couple nights without any and it was behind us. Next time I will have the documents sent to my work....

Oh and it did cost me some outdoor furniture for about $1,000.....

I see references to 'SWMBO'....and I think just what does that mean? Did this woman castrate you? Got a nose ring on you? Or is the man into bondage..hehe!

The best solution is to divest yourself of the female. Short of that, do as you please and if she insists on making a nuisance of herself....then by all means go buy her something....a set of Samsonite luggage and offer to pack it for her.

No, I don't have one. Yes, I did have one. No, I don't miss her, and yes there is a new JD in the shed and even money in the bank and...the sheets get warmed often enough to remind me that I don't want another permanent PITA!
