[s-cars] Holiday madness (nac)

[Bill Mahoney]

Ha!
I might add my neighbor's favourite:
NEVER allow a conversation with your wife to last more than five minutes.
Nothing good can come of it.  
This allows only talk about the weather, what's for dinner and then it's
time to go in the basement or garage.
I guarantee that if you check your watch when finding a conversation
drifting into dangerous territory, you're for sure over that five minute
mark.  Make like a hockey player. 
HTH 
Bill

Mike,

You're in dangerous territory here. Here's a couple of pointers from 
the Big List of Men's Rules to Live By (TM).

Rule #1: Never reason with a woman.

Rule #32: If it's not for her, it's probably wrong.

Rule #33: If it is for her, it's probably wrong (men are such 
idiots). Save the receipt.

Rule # 57: Anything brought into the house in packages smaller than a 
loaf of bread will be ignored. (See the Radar O'Reilly method of 
appropriating complete vehicles by post)

(This is how I've accumulated a collection of 9 bicycles. No, honey I 
had that bike before we met (22 years ago).)

Rule #98: Purchases that make noise or drip fluids (biological, 
chemical or otherwise) will receive always negative attention from the
Missus.

Hope this helps,

Lee
