I'd let you come on down to stay with me for awhile, but then my wife might kill me as well ...

Hey ... Maybe we can put up a couple of cots at my wine storage facility ... order some pizza.

They will just wait until she kills you then raid the cellar.

just tell her the truth

Oh, by the way, would you mind posting your physical address and loosening the security settings on your CT cellar before you do?

If she's trying to get even for 3 bottles of Hommage it better be Prada

I have alway been fascinated by how many purses my wife needs. She loves Coach, but she has more purses than I have socks. Men are from Mars... is my take on this one.

Glad she was good with the Hommage. I saw 2 cases at one of my locals and didn't even want to stare into the open OWC as I thought it might be rigged with some kind of tractor beam.

Its funny that we squawk about the price of Bordeaux, yet we pay for other things and just hope to get away with it. Been there done that.

I once bought a purse that caused the credit card company to call Mr Cookie on the golf course...
Because he's a very smart man, he said it was fine.

A little while after I started dating her, my future brother-in-law told me that I should never under any circumstances question the number of shoes. Once or twice I have slipped. But in general, while I still don't understand, I have kept quiet.

If I knew buying expensive wine was going to be this easy, I would have started years ago. How expensive can a little purse be? Heck, buy two!

And geppetto is so innocently thinking a) he got away with it, and b) a purse or two is cheap.
