A wise man once told me...

[Staplebus]

A wise man once told me, " if you move your trees around all the time, your wife won't notice when you get a new one." But I know better, because, if you get enough trees, she won't even care. Remember this.

“I’ve had that tree for a while, it was just over there for a while.”

The wiseman is an old foo. She knows and just pretends not to know to save the wiseman's face.

When you have enough trees it becomes a "don't ask, don't tell" scenario.

When you have enough trees it becomes a "don't ask, don't tell" scenario.

That's my motto. I burn the boxes, no questions asked.

I performed a tree to shoe ratio with the wife, winning so far.

I performed a tree to shoe ratio with the wife, winning so far.

Now! This is a true wise man.
Everything belongs to her anyway. So long as she accepts a ratio, whatever it may be, that is a win.

 

[Cajunrider]

That's my motto. I burn the boxes, no questions asked.

He who pretends to have no knowledge of the boxes for her and never mention them is also a wise man.

I performed a tree to shoe ratio with the wife, winning so far.

As long as you owe her at least one pair of shoes, you're actually winning. Of course...
...if she owes you at least one tree, you're still winning. Hmmmm...

The perfect conundrum of a double-deficit win-win situation!
