Too big to fail
|
I got scammed!
So my wife calls me into her bathroom, she's standing there with a bucket and sponge, and in that sweet girly voice says "You have better eyes than I do, does this floor look clean enough?" I get down on my knees to look, and say "No, not really." She hands me the sponge and sweetly says "Ok, then can you do it?" hands me the sponge, and walks away.

rookie..
now dont do anything..and walk out..splash water on you face to mimic sweat. let out a big "PHEW! now that floor is CLEAN!" apparently her eyes are bad and she cant see dirt. if she comes in and sees dirt..be ready to let out a hearty, "AHA!"

Easy-peasy. A few cursory swipes and leave. I guarantee she won't check it.

Welcome to my world monkey boy! Try being married to a blind wife. She has the excuse for not being able to see filth so its up to me to clean...but she can smell and feel like an alien so if something isn't spic-n-span then guess who has to be a scrubbing bubble! Remind me again why I have kids?

Well, this shows there is some value in reading classic American literature in school.....
Remember how Tom Sawyer got others to whitewash the fence for him? That must be part of the Wife's Handbook. (the original is from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain) |

"her bathroom"? Sounds like great chance for rubber spiders, scorpions, you get the idea.

Luckily, I couldn't fall for that as my wife has better eyes than I do. And after 30 yrs. together, I've learned to always answer "Yes" to that kind of question.

"It looks wonderful dear" is the proper response!

Too funny. Now some advice from someone who has been scammed before. Your response should have been, "You missed a few spots" as you are walking out the door.

The way I see it it is a choice of behavior on a continuum between being completely macho and behaving like Mel Gibson in the movie What Women Want. Which behavior is going to get u really lucky?
