Thread: Help, I have "Acquisition Disorder"

For obvious reasons though, this one should be reserved for only the most dire circumstances.

I did in fact employ this option:

SWMBO (after I had purchased my third razor): "So just how many razors do you actually need?"
Me: "I don't know, babe. I think I'd like to end up with 8--that's one for each day of the week, plus a spare for when I've got one out being honed. I know that I'll use every one of them. Say, how many pairs of shoes do you have?"
SWMBO: after standing there with her mouth hanging open for 5 seconds, busted out laughing because she knew I had her dead to rights.

I am indeed a lucky, lucky man. I have the razors I want AND a wife who can laugh at herself (she spends plenty of time laughing at me, too).

I currently don't have a SWMBO but all the ones I've had through my life had a shoe addiction. The last one would put Imelda Marcos to shame, she had a room in the basement with racks of them, looked like a shoe store down there. I fully intend to use that argument when the time comes.

Curing it? Making it worse you mean! Oh my god, I want just about all of them.

I know, it was kind of a cruel joke.
When I thought I was done buying razors, I found Revisor. That site opened the flood gates. I talked myself into getting three of them; but I'm not the least bit sorry I have my Revisors. They're outstanding.
