When my Wife nags about chores, I simply make them much more complicated than the feminine mind can comprehend. Pulling weeds for example seems simple enough until you add the seasonal differences accompanied by the differing varieties of unwanted vegetation, coupled with the proper removal and application of herbicide/defoliant so as not to effect the surrounding "good" vegetation because after all you don't want endanger her flowers or expose them shrub ricket, or the ever deadly mosaical compertunosis which has been known to mutate and effect the surrounding human populations. Then there is the added worry genetic fall over whereas it is illegal in 37 of the 50 states to propagate plants in correlation with pulling weeds, and the penalties are enforced by the ATF and we all know what happens when they show up.

Or some such nonsense. Then back to the game and a fresh beer.

Or of course there's always a tool, part, or chemical that needs to be purchased for the job, which requires a long and windy trip to the mega-hardware store (resulting in a path that resembles one of Billy's wanderings in the Family Circus)

The key is to always do a bad job, so they don't bother asking you to do it anymore.
