    If a hypothetical man with 3 hypothetical kids (we’ll call LidnestWimey) were to arrive home with a new car of shall we say a “less than practical” nature, how does said hypothetical man keep his hypothetical balls intact from deranged ramblings of hypothetical wife?

    You are so screwed dude., had you done the precursory suck up and finished the to-do list that would have softened the blow.

      I replaced the wife. My new model Wife 2.0 thinks Jaguars are neat toys that I should have, along with interesting things like radios and computers. What said hypothetical man does depends on his priorities.

          1. if balls are hypothetical then no worry at all... 2. easy clickety[^]

              Those of us who've been married 20+ years know how to work the system. I wish you would have sought my advice in advance. When I wanted to get a Jeep I did the following: 1: I bought the wife a new car first. 2: I then let her simmer in guilt for 6 months while I drove a beater. 3: I talked about what I'd get endlessly. By the time I bought my impractical vehicle she was so relieved that she didn't care what I bought.

                Well the deeds not done yet ... though I took a test drive and am still smiling ear to ear. In my defence I've been driving the same car 7 years, and have: (a) Offered to drive her 'til she dies (b) Paid oodles for care and preventative maintenance, much to my wife's chagrin (c) Took the kids to Disney I've been told I have to buy a new car, and one that can fit two boosters and a child seat in the back. It can! It just has two less doors than she expects and the fuel economy of a MOAB.

                      Was that 20+ years continuous or cumulative?
