Ed,
Good material, I've used some of them myself. I love to take her and buy her nice jewelry, then comment later about what a good gun the money could have bought: "Coulda' bought a beautiful Swiss cross in shield for what that cost!" or something like that. I like to point out to her that I can always shoot my guns, but she can only wear her jewelry. I heard a story years ago about a guy who kept a wooden rifle in his gun safe. When he wanted to buy a new rifle, he simply took out the wooden rifle when his wife was around and commented that he needed to "take this one in to get it fixed." He would later bring the new rifle in saying "got it back, works great" or something like that when she was present and then reuse the wooden rifle again the next time. I've been considering a wooden Luger.
Steve, you're not "wrong all the time." Years ago a friend and fellow sufferer (he's married too) explained to me that what really happens is "you get tired of being right." I have finally surrendered to the inescapable fact that they are women, and they just can't help it. God loves 'em and we try!
