Went to an art showing today

[tuckerdog1]

We have an artist friend, who invited us to a showing one of her friends was having. Hadn't seen our friend in some time, so happy to go. So we're checking out the paintings, and my wife sees this painting of a donkey she likes. "I want it" she says. My mouth started moving before the brain kicked in, and I respond " We came here to see Carol, not spend $1,000." Knew I'd screwed up as the words were leaving my mouth. I knew what was coming next. " All the guns you've been buying & I haven't said a thing! I have the proverbial money in the bank, and I want it." She was right, and we bought the $1k donkey. But I'm going to the LGS tomorrow. They had a nice revolver I stupidly walked away from last week. Hope it's still there.

The correct response would have been, "Do we really need a picture of your (her least favorite relation)?"

Show the donkey. We know what a revolver looks like.

I hope this isn’t it…



Stay safe.

Without pics and a serial number, we have no way of confirming it is indeed a donkey. Could be a mule or even a burro for all we know. Pretty sure who it was that made an ass of himself to his wife though, but a new revolver could be the right kinda redemption.

I inadvertently promised mama last weekend that I wouldn't buy any more "gun stuff" til I gutted the bathroom and replaced the sub floor and flooring, tub, toilet and vanity. So now I gotta take the kid with me everytime I go in a gun shop. I haven't gotten a thing but man, is he stocking up.

I'll do that when we get it. The showing goes until nearly the end of April. Everything has to stay hanging on the walls until then.

The problem I see is that you now have a constant reminder of the people running the country.

Uhh........... Yes Dear.


Sorry the programming of the last 30 years of marriage just iicked in.

We have what is analogous to, in my mind anyway, a velvet Elvis hanging in our living room. I'm almost certain the words Yes Dear came out of my mouth then too.

Happy wife, happy life.

That same donkey was “liberated” from a German SS officer !

Remember- most of the German supplies in WW2 were moved by wagons and horses.

That donkey was the inspiration for Clint Eastwood and Shirley McClain in a popular Western movie.
