Thread: And They Wonder Why Women Outlive Men

I understand not touching the razors, but the pipes?!? - I was under the impression that a man's pipe is made precisely for touching....

Just because you're always touching yours doesn't mean everybody is touching theirs.

I didn't say anything either, I figured I have to choose my battles wisely especially when somebody is trying to help out.

He who controls the straight razor(s) controls the conversation...

All of these comments are jokes. If she thought I meant them, I'd be in big trouble.

We don't have stuff, it is ALL hers.

We all have the same Sister-in-law also.

But on a more positive note. I am sorry to hear that you had to go through that frustration. Hubby has full responsibility for his gear here

Simply stated by the Chief Medical Examiner: Men die before their wives because they WANT TO.

She bugged me a little cause i had a few nicks starting off but just today she complemented me on the difference! Funny part is I asked her permission today if i could invest in a 1000k hone because i don't have one that low and we're not even married yet!! (in honesty i wanted to start including her in financial decisions) I found it funny that I'm whipped all ready

Marriage is like a bath, after your in if for a while, it is not so hot. Good luck brother!!

Being single I avoid this problem though if I was in this situation the thread would have been entitled, "the untimely passing of my wife... Btw looks like I'll be in prison for a bit, anyone know how to get a straight razor in?"

In place at the new house. Fortunately, none of the shave or smoking gear seems to be any the worse for the harrowing experience. I summoned every ounce of tact and diplomacy a crusty old sergeant can, thanked her for her assistance and hinted that if the situation ever appears again, I alone will handle shave gear, pipes (the smoking kind of course), and hats.

Wow. I just went through this with my wife at the end of April. Except that she knows not to touch my guns, sharp things, or their accessories. Her mother, however, did not. Thankfully I'd packed most of it.
The unpacking part, however... my wife left my junk in boxes for me to deal with and didn't touch it. Her mother was visiting for a couple weeks and decided to be nice and help me unpack. Then she had the brilliant idea to just go through my stuff and discard whatever she deemed unnecessary so she asked my wife to help her.
Thankfully my wife has more than a smidge of sense to go with her stubborn streak and time her mother, in no uncertain terms, that if she threw away any of my stuff that she (my wife) would give me permission to cuss her (my MIL) out and that she (my wife) wouldn't say a thing about it to me.
