I'm sleeping on the couch tonight (VANITY)

So in the mail today I got the Christmas Victoria Secret catalogue (NO!! *that* is not why, and NO, I didn't do that with it either...).

While I'm distracted doing the work I brought home with me on the computer (on a friday no less, already losing some points with the wife), my wife is flipping through the catalogue and walks over to me, points at one of the pictures, and says, "hey, her abs look just like mine!"

Now, what followed was obviously a blatant act of war and was pretty darn stupid on my part. Without even looking at the catalogue, I continue staring at my screen and say (while joking of course, but without the intended tone, not that ANY tone could have saved me), "wha? The fat one?"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why I am sleeping on the couch tonight.

Have you ever tried Allure by Chanel? I've bought it in the past. It's okay. A little too sweet smelling for me .

For now I only wear the two I mentioned in my previous post. However, I'd like to try Chance sometime.

So, how does that shoe leather taste?

Look on the bright side: this is the LAST time you'll be asked this....by THIS wife, anyway ;)

Thanks for the laugh... if your wifey reads this, reminder her all of us guys have said a dumb one every now and then.

My best friend in high school had a sister who was very heavy. She used to come out of her room in some outfit and ask us the "Does this make me look fat"?

There was always only one answer to that question, but I never had the heart to tell her the truth.

Ladies, don't ask!! Just look in the mirror and use your own judgement.

LOL, Scott, I don't want to hijack the singles thread; this is what occasionally happens when a person gets married.

Sorry, I only court people who don't like me.

Your wife was looking for a bit of reassurance and attention from you and you blew it to crack a joke?

Would you want her to make fun of the size of your male apparatus or longevity the next time you need some reassurance?

Go apologize. Big time.

Remember sleeping on the couch is just indoor camping!

Good morning. How did you sleep?

[motormouth]

Hope you slithered off the couch this morning and made your wife some coffee.....Oh, and maybe some flowers for good measure! :o)

Larry sweetie....

24 hour supermarket. Picked up some flowers. Got back, rifled through the Victoria Secret to find the woman with the 'best' abs (hey, I had a good reason to rifle through it!), and told the wife (aww, she waited for me to get back from picking up 'a few things from the supermarket' to go to bed) that she must have meant those abs and I was sorry for not even looking and then making a stupid joke.

That, with the flowers, was enough to make sure that neither of us went to bed angry (hasn't happened yet, I think at least...). But she did grab a fist full of my side fat and squeezed it, saying, "you're one to talk anyway, mister."

The moral of the story: this wouldn't have been possible if I was not ignoring her in the first place. That and an ounce of thinking is worth a pound of flowers.

Good thing neither of you went to bed angry, it can make for a very restless night when things are unsettled between a spouses.

Giving your wife flowers was a sweet gesture to show you cared and you were sorry.

Just don't be a meathead again! :)

LOL!

[Larry Lucido]

Yea, yea. Did ya get any? Make up sex is where it's at.

Well done! You've redeemed yourself! :-)
