How to break the news to my wife?

[The Monk]

I did that with a pistol awhile back, but I did ask permission to look at it first. I figured that one (looking) logically led to the other (buying), but it turns out not so much.

The wife still refers to it as "The Mad Gun".

Ruh-ro!!!

It's $500, just tell her you bought a motorcycle.

Break the news to her? Come on, be a man!!!




By "be a man" I mean hide the damn thing in the barn and pray she doesn't find it!! Lol

I did the same, except it was my mom. I showed up with a trailer in tow, hauling a 1972 Honda Cb350. She got irritated at me. Wasn't even running. I was forced to sell later on.


One day I will...

Be honest...then explain you expect her to do the same and be frivolous with $500. Then, it's even

[Inchessi]

Sorry lad, yer doomed. Maybe you should hide it at my place for a while. I'll take good care of it for ya!

If he is too far away...

Honestly, that's why I don't look at bikes.

I told my wife I went to see the doctor and he said i needed more iron in my diet. So I went out and bought a motorcycle. It worked for me.

It's pretty easy to stash a newly-acquired gun in with the others. They all look pretty much the same to my wife!

Wife (uninterested): "I don't remember that gun."

Me (nonchalant): "This? Oh, I've had it for ages!"

I guess that won't work with motorcycles, though....

I'll just say that it's a good thing it's a bike. Once you show up with it, you can ride off on it to escape her fury ;)

ps: just gas it up before you show her.
