Best excuses to buy a Busse

[jokrswylde]

Iron City's thread about family reactions to new knives got me to thinking about some excuses I have had to use to buy Busses. I am running out of material, so let's hear yours. Here are my most reliable:

"Honey, I am going to sell my golf clubs and get a knife, but I have to buy the knife now, and I'll sell the clubs as soon as I find a buyer" (Funny, no one would buy my clubs for 3 grand......)

"Honey, I NEED to buy this knife...just make this my Christmas present for the next 5 years" (She always forgets by that time)

"Honey, if I don't buy at least one Busse every other month, they will kick me out of the Busse Collectors Club, and I won't get these great deals anymore...."

"Honey you have bought at least 10 purses and 5 pairs of shoes in the past month.....can I buy a Busse?"

and if all else fails, never underestimate the power of a grown man groveling on his knees while begging with tears in his eyes.

I'm very fortunate. We both know a lot of people who through ongoing "lifestyles" spend a lot of money and have nothing to show for it including a family life. My wife figures knives pretty much keep me home, and that works for her. Besides it the patriotic thing to do.

Gee, if I buy this Busse I won't have to lug all this pesky cash around in my pocket till I have to make the deposit on Tuesday

I don't need to make excuses to purchase knives.....although my wife does not understand why I buy knives and gives me crap about it, we both work hard for our cash and she doesn't tell me how to spend it. nor I, her. although I always thought a great excuse would be.....
"Honey, i bought this for you. I care about you and want you to be able protect yourself, please accept this gift and take a self defense class to aid in its use.....I love you honey"

I got to keep a nice little .22magnum pistol cause my 1st wife didn't care that I bought it for her and didn't want it....

"Honey I ordered the knife from the online system TWO WEEKS ago and it has not come so I am going to try and order it again." Two weeks later it has not come. "honey I don't know what happened but I think my computer isn't working through the server so I will place my order again." You do this several times until 6-10 months later when all 10 knives arrive at the same time and you say "honey I am not sure what happened but I think all the orders went through even though the knives never came. No worry, I'll sell a few of."

You can only do this once or twice before she gets wise to you.:thumbup:

I can’t carry a black knife in the desert of Western Australia: it will get too hot to handle. I’ll have to get a tan one.
