Thread: Things your wives are not allowed to touch

I hate to tell a fully grown woman to keep her hands off something of which she owns half, but I have decided that I must do this with a few things. Unfortunatley, I had to add Waterstones to the list this week. She decided to drop my 5K Shapton pro on the concrete and busted it in two. So honey, here is my short list.

1. Japanese kithcen knives ( She can have the German ones)
2. Shapton stones
3. Black steel fry pans (nobody touches these babies, they are that good)
4. Razors


rant over.

Feel free to chime in.

I can understand that, but my wife is lots of fun when she drinks,so i encourage it.


BTW: You would think I coud write a title for a new thread without messing it up; please forgive the grammatical error.

My wife is too, but she's just as fun when she drinks the Jim Beam or even beer, and not nearly as expensive....

I'm trying to envision this mishap. Maybe... in your workshop... 'cause of where else could a waterstone come in the vicinity of concrete?... and mama comes in to chat about something... spots the stone, picks it up with two little fingers 'cause it looks like it could be vile, and says something like, "Oh honey, look at the spider on the floor! Bombs away."


No?

Sorry to hear about it Larry. Shaptons are great stones and I always wanted to try one. You can use this as an excuse to buy a replacement and another one since you're already paying for the shipping

P.S. What gramatical error?

Larry, good list. What is "black steel" fry pan??

Cast iron?

There is nothing my dear wife is not allowed to touch...and a couple I'm actively encouraging her to - the lawn mower, for instance

Seriously, my wife has a knife phobia which includes straights and associated peripherals, so no chance of her ever touching these. Makes getting ready in the mornings a bit tricky though...

better than a friend of mine who's ex-wife put all his "dirty smelly" pipes in the dishwasher

I fell for you.
