Hmmm, is this an invitation?

[Monkeyleg]

For years, the only way I could get a new gun was to sell one I already had. Everytime I'd show my wife a new gun, she'd say "what do you need another gun for?"

Last night I showed my wife the gun I just got last Sunday. When I opened the safe, she asked to take a look at the others. I only have eight guns, something that struck her immediately. She said, "I thought you had more guns than that."

OK, married folks: does that sound like an invitation to go get more?

I`d say it`s an invitition but to solidify things, the next time you look in the closet say, " Gee honey, I thought you had more shoes then that."

 

[Hot brass]

Buy a new gun and put an old one in the closet. A week after the new gun is home, bring the closet gun out and ask how long has this gun been in the closet? Look DUMB

Monkeyleg...

I take it she forgot about the other safes...

 

[Greg L]

Sounds like an invitation needs to be made to get her out to the range. Once she is reasonably interested they are much easier to justify .

An invitation? No

Sounds more like she's proud of herself and she's reminding you who the boss is

I'll bet she called her girlfriends and bragged about it.

Good Luck, sounds like you need it

GySgt, she likes shooting revolvers, although she hasn't ever shot a 1911. Her favorite is the cheapest gun I have, a S&W 586.

Now, if I could only get her tastes in other purchases to run to the cheap side.

'When I opened the safe, she asked to take a look at the others'

First mistake. Never let them see in the safe.

The trick is to get a large enough collection so that you can shuffle them around so she can't get a firm count.

Check my sig line- it works.






Oh hi honey... nothing just posting something on THR... what? No I'm not... that's not you... OUCH! HEY! STOP THAT!

 

[Mark Tyson]

You tell her: "Yeah, the others are at the store right now."

Why some of us stay happily divorced.

Take her to your friend's home and show her his safe. Here's the shocker. He tells her those are your guns. Now, when you bring another gun home, it came from the other safe.

 

[LiquidTension]

Mark Tyson - LOL I'm gonna have to use that one

 

[Strings]

my wife...

... will usually only question if we can afford the purchase when I want another gun. Except for the latest: a 6" Beretta Neos. And she pointed out, as we left the store, that she hadn't questioned it. My response? "Well, it a great price, we could use another 22, and... you snot... you're gonna steal it, aren't you?". To which she just smiled...

 

[yorick]

Sounds like she's taking inventory for the divorce lawyer...

Roger that! I made a BIG mistake by asking if I could write a check for an nice Yugo SKS, just 99 bucks. Answer "NO! We're spending too much at Walmart"
Guess I posed the question wrong.





Hey yorick, welcome to The High Road!

 

[Atticus]

I just can't believe you missed the opportunity to say, " well....I used to have a lot more...but I had to sell my best ones to get these...pout.. pout.
"It's a good thing you don't have to sell your clothes and shoes in order to get new ones."

 

[Monkeyleg]

Oooohh, that's a good one, Atticus!
