A couple of anecdotes.
My Wife never complains -------until a couple of years ago I had the chance of buying a Krieghoff that I really didn't need but was too good a deal to pass on .
So rather than carry a lerge wad of cash with me I paid by cheque. A few weeks later I was rushing around like a mad thing with the good lady paying bills and other such stuff before going to the ground to do a few lessons.
Rapidly running out of time (we all know how ladies like to browse in shops )I dropped the Wife off at home and whilst doing so said " Be a sweetheart and just put my cheque bokk in my drawer to save me getting out of the car".
On the way to the ground I got six missed calls from the Wife. When I called her back she said " You and me need to talk when you're home".

When I was a Gunsmith in the Army a Major asked me if I could call round to his house to give an estimate to repair 'a bargain gun'. I did , when I mentioned the cost of new wood , making a stock and forend , blacking the barrels etc.
A voice came from the next room " Oh darling that's an awful lot of dresses".
"It's okay" he said to me ," we have an understanding."
