I know what I know

The wife and I are having a weeks long running dispute. She is unshakable in her hardheadedness. .More importantly she is just wrong. If you have spent any time at all reading my collected works, you know I am determined to prove my superior worldview.  In this case, there is no political philosophy at stake, no historical interpretation, no mathematical principles to be argued. We are not in disagreement over religion, philosophy or child rearing.

Quite simply, she refuses to understand the absolute necessity of purchasing a 6 foot tall wooden cigar store Indian for my office.

Well, she's definitely in the wrong, there.

I believe a compromise is in order.
A four foot indian is appropriate for any environment.
My son used to sell those things.

It's your office right?

And I assume you will be using your money?

Hmm, I'm not sure why there is a discussion besides just letting her know it will be there so she isn't startled.

I've been married 3 times so I can offer no safe opinion here that would not cost you half of everything you own.

What a shrew.

The assumption here is that she doesn't spend any time in your office and that you have a set-aside for personal purchases in the budget.

If you have to take money from the general fund or she has to see the Indian on a more than occasional basis then this may be a bridge too far.

(Just realized my original comment sounded like I keep my wife in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant)

American Indian I hope

"American Indian I hope"
Now I picture Ghandi holding a cigar.

Mockingbird said...

Instead,I'd invest in a case of Birthday bourbon for the office, and then lock the damn door.

Rita said...

Great idea. A wooden statue of Ghandi.

Hey teacher... said...

Perhaps Norm and Cliffy can come over and talk to her and make her see the advantages of having it your office rather you having to go to the bar to visit it. If it is a wooden Ghandi I have no advice to give you although I think that it would be a much more interesting conversation starter.
