So my wife and I are taking up some carpet in the living room this afternoon, cutting it up into strips so the trash hauler will take it. I am using my RC4 and naturally, the carpet is no match for it. My wife says that she would like to give it a try, so I hand the RC4 to her and she starts cutting. As she nears the end of the strip, I ask her to please be sure not to run my knife into the marble threshold....tink. Nice little ding right on the belly of the blade.

I have already sharpened out the ding, but what says the group on the proper method of discipline for this blatant abuse of my blade?

Next time let her break, then ask her to give you money to buy a new one and while she is not looking send your old one to Jeff to be fixed/replaced.

:D As for discipline ban lifetime and oxygen shows for a while.

God, my wife would wilt and die.

Did you ever notice there's like, 3 male actors on those channels? They always play the bad guy, the husband and the "other man" and then switch for the next movie.

If they need male extras it's just those same three guys wearing wigs and painted on beards.

What does your wife look like? Discipline has a different meaning for Rosie O'Donnel than it does for Catherine Zeta Jones.

:D Yeah one involves a diet and the other one I couldn't get mad at.
 
I am fortunate in that my girl doesn't care for WE/Oxygen/Lifetime. She'd much rather watch action movies and gory horror flicks if she's not reading. As for an appropriate punishment, I agree with Shotgunner.
 
My vote is to sharpen the knife and never mention it again.

don't make eye contact.

don't let her see you are scared.
 
Watching the lady in your life use a knife is reward enough!
At least it is for me!
 
My wife is one of those who should never be allowed to touch sharp objects....I cover my eyes every she picks up a knife. And of course she knows everything, so any attempt to teach her how to use knives properly is me condescending to her. So, I just keep them sharp and keep plenty of band-aids around.

Man, no matter how many shows my wife makes me watch with her, I still couldn't tell you what the actors look like.....

I think you enjoy it......
:p

I have the constant arguement with my wife that serrations does NOT = sharp, a knife CAN have a straight edge AND be sharp.

My kitchen keeps acquiring those knives that have a million serrations per inch and are IMPOSSIBLE to sharpen! ARRRGGGGHHHHHHH!
I just shove them to the back of the knife drawer and place my old very old set of Victorinox Professional blades to the front.
