    I continually have that exact same argument with my wife every year as winter starts to bear its fangs

    I than have the opposite argument with the mother in law in summer when she tries to tell me to turn the boiler off because we are wasting money heating the house when it's sunny. She just can't understand that the heating doesn't come on because it doesn't get cold enough despite me getting her to touch every radiator to confim that they are off

    It would be totally rude to push in front of the first woman if you had no money to pay for the shoes.

    The shop assistant remains at the till waiting.

    Your friend is trying on another pair of shoes at the back of the shop and sees your dilemma. She prepares to throw her purse to you.

    If she does so, you can catch the purse, then walk round the other shopper and buy the shoes!

    At a pinch she could throw the purse ahead of the other shopper and, “whilst it is in flight” you could nip around the other shopper, catch the purse and buy the shoes!

    BUT, you must always remember that until the purse has “actually been thrown”, it would be plain wrong to be in front of the other shopper!

    We have a guy in at the moment tiling our kitchen floor. My wife said to me this morning that he'll do the utility room if I clear it out. That means get the washer, dryer and fridge freezer out of it. Now consider that it was 7:30am when she told me, rather than last night and I was about to head off to work.

    Missus: That's ok, we can touch those bits up later.

    A nice idea, but you wouldn't want to confuse them with the concept of exchanging money for goods or services. Their brains might not be able to cope.

    Correct - they are able to believe they can multitask and be wrong at the same time.

    A picture of a carvan in Bognor with a plate of tripe at the maximum marker
    I like your idea however... since she's taking a year off to bring up our little darling the caravan pic will be the only incentive so I'll stick that at 15°C with a pic of some dirty faced homeless people only slightly further round.

    Women refer to them as tampons, not “funny thread”. Obviously they are stuck up cnuts.

    I'm happy to let the misses believe that for as long as she likes.
    again I have pointed out to her that I like to do one good job instead of 2 half @rsed ones - which I have to fix anyway.
