Karma, and lying to your wife

Like most people here, I have a bad case of KAS (knife acquisition syndrome), and typically receive one or two packages a week in the mail. Occasionally, my wife catches me unwrapping a new prize (I imagine I must look like a junkie trying to hide his habit sometimes) and asks me, "is that ANOTHER knife?! How much do those cost?" To which a reply with a slight alteration of the facts.

Well, today I get a call from my wife, who is at the airport, just having passed through security:

Wife: Well, I almost got arrested today. One of your knives made it into my carry-on and I got in trouble with security.

Me: Oh no! Which one was it? (It was my Caly 3.5)

Wife: Well, I had to throw it away so they would let me through.

Me: What? No!

Wife: What's the big deal? You said they only cost like $10.


Karma:1
Me: -1 caly


Guess I deserved that...
 
Go. Get. The. Caly. Three. Point. Five. Before. I. Hunt. You. Down. For. This. Travesty....
 
Hahaha!

I also considered a PO box... til my GF found the application for the PO box. Haha.
 
Problem is, I can't just carry one of my other caly 3.5s just yet. She doesn't know about the duplicates!!!!

I have no idea how she got it in her bag.
 
Honestly, I would just be up front with her from the start. This is your extra cash that you've saved up correct? Cash that doesn't have to go toward food, bills, gas etc?
 
I had a good laugh at your bad karma! Sorry!
On the other hand my wife has seen all my knives, typically when a package shows up I show her what's inside and tell her how much it was. She gets a kick out of them, then she makes fun of me for being "obsessed".
 
I shrug whenever my fiance makes similar comments. I might love purchasing copious amounts of knives, but I choose to drive relatively inexpensive cars, wear well-made but "budget" (Victorinox) watches, and frown on many other "luxury" hobbies.
 
I figure I might as well be honest with my long term girlfriend, as she spends more on shoes and make up! :P
