Has The Wife Earned the Pimp Hand?

So I found a '69 Dodge Charger and I decided to buy it, sell my car (a 02 Cavalier) and call it a day. I mean, I earn the money, we have no debt besides this months credit cards between the two of us, and I have the last of my lawsuit money to cover the rest.

The Wife said I didn't need it and I'm not allowed to buy it.

When did my balls get put in a jar under the kitchen sink?

So do I buy my car and reclaim my manhood (and likely never get laid again) or just meekly say yes dear and hope for a swift death as I watch my man card burn?

Get the car!

You should slap yourself for displaying such a poor control over the arts of the sale and negotiation. If you'd properly done your part, she'd buy the car for you.

Put it in terms that she can understand.

Tell her you're getting the car on "clearance" and that it's a real "bargain".

It works.

Yeah, because as I recall the 69 Charger was really good on gas If you want a man's car get a Dodge Challenger, the charger was for punks. Watch the movie "vanishing point". Then you will understand.

Damn. Why didn't I think to say "sale" and "bargin"?

The General Lee was a Charger.

Are you saying the Duke boys were punks?

Yeah, watch the movie.

It has been said that a woman, once she's married a man, benefits by eliminating everything about him that might make him attractive to other women, because this reduces the probability of his infidelity. Thus, it is in her interest to:

• fatten him up
• make him drive a pathetic car
• put him in unattractive clothes
• force him to cease any hobbies or other activities that could be considered sexy by another woman

Husbands of Wordforge, is this true?

Ladies?

Dear God, epiphany!

• fatten him up--Not her fault. I'm to blame for that.
• make him drive a pathetic car--Nope. Got a good, brand new truck*.
• put him in unattractive clothes--Again, my fault, not hers.
• force him to cease any hobbies or other activities that could be considered sexy by another woman--My main hobbies are model building and guns, so that one may be true.

Can't happen to me. It's impossible for any member of my family to become fat. All of them are thin no matter the age or gender.

What do you mean by pathetic? I plan to drive only luxury Sedans when I am in my 30s.

That is impossible as I wear mostly t-shirts and jeans even now.

Okay I am not married and don't want to for another 10 years (til I am in my early 30s) but from observing my dad I say none of those has happened.

A man marries a woman thinking she won't change. She does.

A woman marries a man thinking he'll change. He doesn't.

The clothing thing can be one good way to get back at a wife.

She stopped "letting" him do some of his hobbies. So he threatened to embarrass her with his dress. She didn't believe him. So he hit a thrift store and picked up some green slacks, a brown shirt and a tacky orange belly buster tie thing that looks like it is straight out of the Brady Bunch. He started wearing that to church.

I haven't laughed so hard all week!
Perfect response.

Show us the pictures of the car when you get it.

Or change your user name to Suzy if you don't get it.

that's an unattractive palm tree

I thank my dear and fluffy lord every single day that I did not marry a woman who has ever once in 18 2/3 years told me what I was "allowed" to do.

I laugh derisively in the general direction of all you fellows not so blessed.

Mine does not tell me what I am allowed to do. She merely makes me feel so very low and guilty for any simple pleasure in life I take.

That tree is hiding his mangina, Chuck.

Quit being such a weeping vagina and give her the boot.

Ha ha, that's pathetic.

I knew there was a reason I didn't want to get married.

Buy the car.




And some Vaseline.


Gonna be a long week, but she'll come around and you'll still have the car so...

I thought you were waiting until Alberta legalized it?
