I'm still puzzled by my own comments. You know that's not typical of me.
Perhaps there is something in my subconsciousness that I can't recall right now.
If I remember I'll post it.

My theory: The rumors are true that she IS cheating and she’s pissed because it redflags dumbo to her antics.

what happily married woman would spend $50k on underwear?

That poor dude. That is service above and beyond the call of duty. Does he get extra hazardous service pay?

I am almost positive that Barry doesn’t care, as long as Michelle lets him got to the clubhouse showers with the guys every weekend.
