OK, I'll try to keep this short...
My wife and I needed two dish towel rings in our kitchen. We looked around together and decided where I should mount them. But when I got ready to mark the points to drill holes, I decided to move one of the rings about a foot to the right so as to keep it out of the way of the sink a little better. I told my wife, "I've made an executive decision," and then proceeded to tell her about the new location I had selected. Luckily for me she agreed on the new location.
So I'm telling this story to my friends at work and all the married guys are laughing about how the location of a towel rack is the extent of executive decision making of husbands, and my boss starts telling me the following story:
He and his family were in town shopping and doing whatever, when by boss makes an executive decision and pulls into a quick-lube shop to have the oil changed in their car. His wife throws an mild hissy fit about him not telling her that he was going to get the oil changed and such. Anyway, about a week later my boss goes home and is met by a new pit bull puppy. He says, "Hey! What's with the dog? Why don't we talk about these things before hand?" And his wife say, "Hey! Remember the 'executive decision' you made about getting the oil changed?!"
Well, I thought this was a funny story that most married guys would understand.
Have a great day.
