How I Got In Dog House For Tonight

My Wife made Dinner Plans with others, but never told me about it until this morning...

There is NO WAY I would ever miss the Nets/Celtics Game 6, The Lakers/Kings Game 6, and the GAME 7 Stanely Cup matchup between Deetroit and Colorado...

Anyone else in this position, lol?

THE SHRINK

 

[BigRedBunghole]

I'll go out ta dinner w/ yor wife, SHRINK, as long she pays. Anywhere she wants ta go!

 

[BigRedBunghole]

OOOPS, I jus looked at where you are, VA (virgina?), so if yor akin yor wife if its ok, well it aint gonna work since i live CA

 

shrink - ever heard of cloning? as much money as you are worth - see about getting yourself cloned in the next few hours and send your "twin" in your place.

on the other hand - if you are like most married couples - with you being gone your wife will have a better time w/o you.

i do believe this is grounds for a JUSTIFIABLE divorce - so you might even wanna pursue that angle.

what time is the dinner thing, anyway? why not sked it for 5P and this way you won't miss any of the games - and it is not like you live on the west cost where this all starts @ 4P.

Call'em up and tell them to bring some homemade nachos, laptops and whatever else they want. That's there been a change of plans.

You don't want to be hanging with anyone that would agree to dinner date tonight anyway.

Easy solution... Just tell her Who's the Boss !! Oh, I see ! You do have a problem ! I guess you can just catch the score on Sports Center or perhaps you can talk everyone into having dinner at a sports Bar and tip the Host for a very convenient table in clear view of a large screen TV !
good Luck

Ken, you're in a tight spot...

Tape your fav game(s) and see if you have the discipline to not watch the highlights before you watch the tape! I've never managed to, myself..I always hear the waiter telling the busboy the score, or get a call from a friend with the score. It's worth a shot, but basically you're screwed (or if you choose to bail on the plans, you're definitely NOT screwed, at least tonight )

Bon Appetit Shrink!!!!

 

Tell your wife the truth, business takes precedent over social engagements. In many ways those games are your business. Enjoy

Simply put.....If you don't go to dinner you have "chosen" Sports/Gambling over the wife. I don't care if it sounds crazy to you and me, it is her opinion that matters.

Make this deal:

Go tonite, but in return ask her nicely to confer with you regarding scheduling in the future. In other words, lose the battle, but win the war (and make her think she won....That is also VERY important).

Or....You could pay CHJ for his advice? He seems to have a good marriage

 

A THERAPIST asking for marital advice.

These games are once in a blue. The restaurant, guests, and your wife will always be there.

See if she can understand.

I say resked.

 

[Stampede66]

I am willing to bet that many of the guys who are saying "put your foot down" and tell the wife "tough luck" aint married (divorced, single, or just plain unhappy). .....It aint that easy fellas.

Lose the battle, but win the war (coming out smelling sweet in the end). THERE IS NO OTHER WAY.......Well, divorce court maybe. /infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

I havent got much aexperience here, but aint it the right thing ta ask? That wife a SHRINKS shoulda asked him. Then there wouldnt of been this problem. Man that wife a SHRINK sure gotta a lot of nerve. I mean she can read the tv guide cant she?

 

LOL.

You can BET the ones giving the "don't go" advice are single.....

The ONLY way out is to feign sickness.

You MUST tell her now that you feel nauseus. Ask her if SHE feels sick. (repeatedly)

Then (30 min. later) go to the bathroom, take a very hot washcloth and hold it to your head for 5 minutes. It helps to do some jumping jacks or pushups so you can get that all over clammy feel.

Ask her if your head feels hot to her. Make sure you bring a COLD wash cloth w/ you..dab your head a few time for effect.

Then tell her you are going to lay down for 20 min.

She should ask you by now if you'd like to cancel.
You then should reply, "Oh, I know you really want to go. Let's just go. I'll be OK".

Then lay down again. Tell her you feel cold now.

She should cancel dinner plans around this time. If not, you are s c r e w e d and you have no escape.

If you get her to cancel, or better yet..she goes without you, you get to lay in bed (groan every once in awhile) and watch TV.

You may even get some snacks in bed.

Hey Shrink, Just change the plans to go out to a restaurant with TV's. Tell your wife that you want her and her friends to come along. Tell her how much fun it will be to all go out together. And if your wife's friend's husband has any. He'll agree too. Good Luck!!

Payton, you're evil! I'll file this one away for future use..hey, wait a minute, I think my girl has used this on me to cancel a day at the races!

 

[Dshotda1]

dude...your way around is hilarious!!!!!

Shrink..if you go that rout , just be sure not to
celebrate too much if your team wins!!!
that way you dont give your self away!!
by the way i hope she doesnt read this this forum
or theres no way around it.

shrink - you have about 2 hours until the first set of games start.

that is MORE than enough time to file for - and get a divorce. now - dinner is no longer a problem - as a matter of fact - she won't want to see your guts anywhere around her. so it costs you a few 100k - big deal - you get to see your games - and if you make the right picks - you will more than make up for it.

and best of all - now that you are single - and have a ton of money - you can go out and get a "trophy" wife.

i am disappointed in you - and that you weren't able to think of this yourself.

Gee payton, what are 10 years old? I mean thats what kids do, aint it? Ya jus tell her that you're watchin a gm. Seems she oughta know she aint more important than a playoff gm.
