If your significant other is looking over your shoulder, perhaps you should *accidentally* shut down your computer....

I don't need to deceive my spouse, but it occurs to me that an action I recently requested might be of some use to sneaky trough dwellers.

Since my Cultellus is about to ship and since my spot at armoralleather just came up, I figured I'd save myself a few bucks and have the knife sent straight to Dwayne.

Now, when it comes in, I *could* say, "Oh, that's just one for which I had a sheath made. You haven't seen that one before?"

Diabolical.
 
I might need that trick, if I keep acquiring these darn things at the same pace in 2008 as 2007. :o
 
I don't need those tricks anymore. My wife works over night 7 days on 7 off. i just have stuff delivered on the weeks she works. She sleeps all day, problem solved. :D I could have a Sherman tank delivered (extreme exaggeration of course).

Man, I wish that would work for me. I just tell my wife that these knives being sent to me are for someone else and that he ships them to me so he won't get in trouble with his wife(you know who you are).;)
 
Yeah getting the wife INFI definately does help... Just ask Dwayne.
Although now that I have mine I do get funny looks when I use it while I am out with mom groups :D
 
Spouse stradegy is something I am quite good at.

How I do it is a tried and true method taught to me by the best of the best. (my father :D)

Pick out the most outrageously expensive knife, mower, car, toy, whatever it is that you want. Get excited about it! Bring it up, justify the cost, rationalize it make her think you are really thinking of going for this one.

She'll get a bit worked up inside but if she is like my wife she won't show it. Then as she is browsing with you casually pull up the much less expensive one you really wanted in the first place and let her get a look at that as if you are just browsing. If you play your cards right she'll say something like, "what about that one?" or "Whats wrong with that one?" and at this point you have it! Order your knife.

When I wanted a new riding lawn mower I took her to the Honda dealer. I didn't just want another 1500 buck mower that would be trouble starting, last a few years and need replaced. I wanted a life time mower. We went together. I zeroed in on the 4x4 model for $10K. Did all the above and got excited, asked for loan info, payment info, options, all the signs that I was serious. By the time we walked by the $4000 two wheel drive version that I really wanted she thought it was a great relief over spending 10K plus.

If I had gone in and tried to talk her into the 4K model to begin with I'd still be on a Murray from walmart. I got the 4K model I wanted and she thanked me for buying that one! I'm bad I know. Hey, sue me! A mans got to do what a mans got to do! :thumbup::D

I had a little too much to drink last night and ended up buying a FFBM and stayed up late trying to come up with ways to soften my wifes anger when she sees it. One little fantasy that ran through my mind was to talk to a friend of mine who always has a few parts cars sitting around and trying to stage a car wreck. So my wife and I are driving along and we see the wrecked car with someone "trapped" inside and I get out and grab the BM that she's never seen from the trunk and cut through the door and save the day.:D:D:D

Nice work though Guyon your strategy requires a lot less work. If I use it do I owe you royalties?
 
My wife and I have a rule. When something new shows up in the house, we both pretend that it has been there all along. We are both happier for it.

Just let me know which sheathmaker you use so I can get a kickback. :p

This has been my strategy lately. I've noticed some new bags, necklaces and clothes around lately, but who am I to bring that up?
 
Now there is some pure GENIUS in this thread!

Keep the good advice flowing... I am single and may need to reference this one day!

My first wife didn't know the difference between a glock and and Les Baer (boy.... that would have been a fight!!!) :eek:
