[thechat] Too Much Stuff

I've made it a point to never tell my wife the source of anything I owned
before we met.  =)

Of course, I also don't have a sweatshirt with a big ole "I and someone I'm
always subconsciously comparing you to broke the bed at the fabulous Mount Airy
Lodge" across the front.  ;)

Of course, men and women in general have entirely different attitudes toward
clothes.  A woman sees a man wearing an old t-shirt and thinks, he must be
emotionally attached to the giver of that t-shirt.  Why else would he forgo the
shopping experience to buy a new t-shirt?

A man knows it takes at least 5 years to break in a good t-shirt to the point
where it is comfortable, and after putting that much time and effort into a
t-shirt, he doesn't care if it was a joint gift from Bill Gates and Hitler.

Although the perils of having a wife are many.  I once called my wife's teddy
bear the name of an ex's bear.  Fortunately, she didn't hear me, and bear
hasn't ratted me out (yet).

Good luck,



Sean G.
