Coffee with the wife.

[gajinoz]

After doing a little shopping yesterday morning we decided to have a coffee and something to munch on. While sitting there sipping away my wife picks up my keyring and, after a bit, says; "What's this thing?" "Ahhh.. that's a Prybaby, you can see the name of the guy who made it stamped on there."

"Hmmmm, what's it for?" This is a little unsual, normally my wife couldn't care less what my gadgets are for unless she needs something done.

"Well", I say, "It has many uses. You can pry with it, you can open bottles with it, you can use it as a screwwdriver or strip wire and these little lugs here tighten the pivot on my Strider and so on."

"Hey, that's cool" she says. At this point I'm really amazed!

Next she starts fiddling with the Ladybug and it's little companion LED light. Eventually she opens the knife and picks up one of those little sugar packets you get with your coffee and starts slashing away at it.

"Hmmm.. could be a little sharper" she says. This completely blew me away. Normally her interest in knives and gadgets is way less than zero and to actually notice that the Ladybug could do with a sharpen is little short of incredible.

Women are weird creatures!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!

Its a trap, feign interest in some of his junk then hatch some evil plan which will either involve a lot of money or being dragged around someplace that you would never normally be seen dead in.

Keep a sharp eye on the mail box, especially for brochures

Sounds like you'll see or hear something interesting in a while.

I promise not to laugh too hard.

Um... how much vodka did you slip into her coffee?

I find this isn't too uncommon. The slightest imperfection can make the paper rip, and that does not go unnoticed. Of course, it might just be that they are used to my OTHER knives...

Damn, Gaij!!! :thumbup:

I can't get my wife to do that. Where do they grow THAT kind of coffee?????

 

[gajinoz]

I'm sort of half worried you guys might be right, although nothing has come of it yet. Another weird thing, some time ago I saw a small folding knife knife in a shop, fairly cheap thing can't think of the brand right now, and I hoped it might spark her interest a little because it had a picture of horses on the handle. For months she has paid little or no attention to it then, the other day, she came into the house and said; "Where's my knife?" HER knife??? she is referring to it as her knife and she actually wants it? Amazing! Anyway she finds it, goes out and does whatever she was doing and when she came back in said; "This is my favourite knife."

Maybe, just maybe, she's beginning to think they are usefull ........

Simply put, this is phase 2. The seed has been sown, now she is waiting to reap. When exactly is the 'Fall Fashion Collection' out?

Guys,

It's unfair to imply that women just pretend to be interested in men's stuff because the want something expensive or want something done around the house.

You forgot to add the - looooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnngg *snore* sensitive conversations that couldn't take place during the TV ad's - option to the list.

Hey Gaj-
if the wife likes horses that much, check out truenorthknives.com. Neil has a Bailey Bradshaw folding bowie with amazing engraving (horse) on it. Nice anniversary gift for the wife, I would say.

Guys,

"men's stuff"??? Hardly! I am the only one I actually know in person who can flip two balisongs at the same time and dance to music with one, switching hands and doing figure eights and all kinds of stuff. So THERE.

I also always carry my Benchmade, even if I'm dressed up; if I don't have pockets for some reason I will stick it in my purse. I have a Spyderco Ladybug on my keychain. I used them both too.

Sorry Ashes, you don't count, especially after your name ended up as the prize of a cricket tournament.

(Anyone know where that name originates?)

I still occasionally hear that 25 years ago I gave my wife a SAK as a present (on some less important occasion)...

Good luck Gajinoz, I am afraid that you are going to need it.

"Hmmm.. could be a little sharper"

Maybe she's preparing to cut your you-know-whats off, and she wanted to see how much effort it was going to take.

 

[HoB]

And you didn't ask: "who are you and what have you done with my wife?"

I would have ....but then again. Living with THAT kind of an alien could actually be a lot of fun l.

 

[rev_jch]

Does sound....somewhat suspicious......

 

[Kane]

Quickly, buy her a knife of her own - of course make it one you would like as well (best make sure it isn't sharp when she first opens the box)
