Wine won't do your laundry...or cook?

I take it you have never met my wife.

But she is pretty.

Beautiful, actually.

But so is a bottle of fine wine.

Aaarrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Shalom.

The problem is that you said "better" -- had you said "as wonderful as," then all sorts of poetic comparisons spring to mind that would cause her to swoon with your wit, charm, grace, and savoir faire. But...BETTER? Hmmmm.... LOL!

Wine starts out sweet, matures gracefully and then turns to vineagar

A woman starts out sweet, matures gracefully and turns to a younger man.

I think you are SOL, ArGee.

Have you tried google? Or Ask Jeeves?

If your wife corners you tonight about why she's better than fine wine, try launching one of these responses instead; like ABMs, they may ward off the incoming!

Gee, Sweetheart, let's skip dinner tonight. The only thing I'm hungry for is you.

Let's invite your mother to spend the summer with us!

Why don't we watch these tonight -- they had a special rate at the video store on romance movies.

How would you like it if I give you a nice massage and foot rub?

There's nothing I like more than getting dressed to the nines in a suit and tie and taking you dancing.

You know, we really don't visit your relatives enough...let's go now!

Why don't you relax this weekend, and let me do all the cooking and housework.
