It seemed like such a great idea at the time

It is easier and more effective to shoot yourself than to shoot your wife.

If the shot didn't do the job on the wife you'd get to enjoy that discussion forever and ever. Somehow it would become your fault for being such an incompetent idiot and not being able to get even that job done correctly.

Shoot us men are about as impossible to live with and bitchy as many a dog pack. Ancient motto, never let wife be the last one to check door/window locks. There's some sense in classing men with dogs, women with cats. Lock em both in a car trunk for a few hours, on opening - one will want to kiss you/missing you - the other - well you know...

An ancient riddle .... which will come out first .... a wild cat from a paper sack, or a $100 bill from a women's purse?

Our only pre-nuptial agreement was the the Norton was MINE!
The stereo, cameras, cars, the other motorcycles, the heirloom silver, antique furniture and real-estate was all debatable but not the Norton.
She is also the woman who handed me an inheritance check and told me to build a new garage for my motorcycles.
She is also the woman who told me to "fix it no matter what!" when I exploded the motor in'Pa' my trusty Norton.
She is also the woman who just shakes her head and leaves the kitchen smiling when she sees me sitting next to the stove wearing an oven mitt and reading the Norton repair manual.
She is also the best thing that ever happened to me.She has supported my motorcycle addiction unwavering for forty years. Without her I'd be living in a cardboard box under a bridge. It would be the nicest box there and the only one with a Norton in it but,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

As for Tupperware,,,,,,,,,,I buy my own!

Alright then ENOUGH BRAGGING about the women in our lives, lets get back to talking Norton!

My wife should get on here to post. But she won't...so I'll do it for her.

"That husband of mine, he thinks he owns the kitchen! It's true he does most of the cooking but his persistent nagging all the time is driving me bonkers.

-Why are you using my breadboard for cutting raw meat?
-You just handled raw chicken, now wash your hands before you go around touching everything.
-Jeepers, why can't you wash off the sharp knives and hang them up instead of laying them in the sink!

And then the asshole has the nerve to tear down carburetors in the kitchen sink and leave the whole place stinking of gasoline. Or put his Norton parts in the oven and leave the kitchen smelling of hot oil or, worse, bake on paint!

It's a good thing he is such a good cook and expert lover, or I might have to look for a newer model!"

Thank you all, I needed a good laugh with you.

I did powder coating in my wife's oven. Got away with it for a while until she caught me one time. She'd come home to the smell and I told her the self cleaning cycle was going.
I used the word "cycle" so it wasn't a total lie.
