Boxed up some quartzite to send to fellow member in an already made(easy) small box. Asked wife to mail it along with the rest of her lot.
Asian postal worker goes postal because I did not use a SFRB to save money. She insisted in re-boxing it to a SFRB so shipping would be $6 instead of $12. They open the box and find that I used my wife's cherished dish rag as packing material.
Wife comes home and tears me a new one. Dish rag had a hole in it, figured it was trash-figured wrong.
Sentiment towards a dish rag ? must have been broke in just right....

Do not question, do not wonder, do not look under Funk and Wagnalls dictionary for an explanation to the mysteries of the fairer sex. Resistance is useless. Dead men walking...

Gentlemen, some things have great sentimental value, so bring up good memories.

Wife informed me of the entire dish rag purchasing process. Including rate, timing and QTY of purchase in great detail. A mass of verbiage that added more gray hairs to the scalp. Throwing her body all over the place and stomping as if a war was won, a culprit caged. Remember the guy in Wide World of Sports program that losses control at the end of the ski ramp and the mention of "the agony of defeat".
And makes a point they are "MY" (meaning her) dish rags.
Sitting over there gloating in satisfaction. Merry Christmas Honey !

Well, it could've been worse, James. At least you didn't have an image similar to this one to add to your initial report of the incident. Count your blessings!

It appears that she has moved on to another task TG. Something tells me you have had lots of such run-ins Michael. I need to ask the Ms. how you wear the pants in such a dominating fashion.
