:D Good advert :lol:.

Question: if such gifts as hyper-great hoovers get men sent to the Doghouse, why is is that my missus feels it is okay to buy me such gifts as orbital sanders or wood-chisel sets?

A faint whiff of double-standard fills the air I do declare.

It's only a HINT of a honey do if she attaches a list of things to do with it (read: work that takes you away from doing the things you WANT -- not need-- to do) ... otherwise it goes into your tool box as part of a growing collection.

:D True, I didn't say they were unwelcome gifts and I actually enjoy doing 'projects' that she gets the benefit of ...


... it's why the reverse is not true that abrades my 'fairness' gene :).

I bought my missus one of these two years ago. She remarked in passing that she thought they were pretty handy. I discretely ordered it, and it was at the door within twenty-four hours. Used my own credit card too. No dog house.

Well see, there you took the work out of it for her. So yeah it's appreciated (one hopes). But remember the dog house is the end result of tap dancing in a mine-field. Every man eventually scroos up with the missus... eventually. Women's radar is infallible

It's in THEIR genes Sukerkin. So how is THAT fair??
See, my theory is that Mrs. God discreetly threw it into the mix when Mr. God was creating Eve and turned his back and paused to get another ingredient.

This is why this forum is so awesome. The info I get here is worth every penny. With this in mind, I know where I won’t be this holiday. Great video, thanks.

OMG, you mastered picking up on the hint. Learn from him gentlemen. ;)

Well see, there you took the work out of it for her.

Coupled with a hint and BINGO. :D

Very funny video!
