I accompanied my wife to the grocery store today (okay, I was getting McDonald's out of the deal), and something that never happened to me before happened today.

I got propositioned by a gorgeous 20-something woman. Just stunning, claimed it was going to be a no-strings-attached encounter, all I'd have to do is promise to promote some cleanser. But I was raised to have willpower and strong moral character. STRONG moral character - like new, stronger Ajax, the strongest cleanser available. Now in lemon and vanilla scents.

Ok, now where are these women around my parts of town LOL?? Kudos to you though Alan. I know many men who would give into temptation at that point.

Oh, no kudos - if you don't see airborne swine outside your window, this hasn't happened yet.
 
Ummmm....

"Hottie" status to be determined...

Wait a minute!?!?! Back the truck up. You get bribed to go grocery shopping?

I think my wife sends me just to get rid of me for a few hours. I get lost, and I can never come back with just what's on the list. It's like an adventure.

But I've never been propositioned, so I guess your trip was a little more adventurous than mine...
 
You're doing it wrong, Rob.

Every so often, my wife "suggests" it would be nice to have help with the grocery shopping. So I go. And I grab a couple cans of Pringles, maybe some jalapano potato chips, a rotisserie chicken, some other snacks. She looks at this and usually says, "This is why I don't bring you." And then I'm off the hook for a couple months.
 
I can get that job done by tossing in just one package of okra...

...and your English needs attention, Alan. It should be "I was raised goodly."

Maybe you were, but my parents had a pathological hatred of adverbs. They lived strange.
 
You'd think my wife would like me telling these made up stories about her, but no.

Like today - she said to me, "Have you ever thought about what you would do if I die before you?"

I handed her the laptop and said, "Look at the folder labeled 'Finally'."

On the plus side, the new couch is much more comfortable than the old one...
 
Tell her you'll marry again, but you won't let the new wife use your current wife's golf clubs....

She's left handed...
 
Can't remember the last time I was asked by my wife of 35+ years to go shopping with her, never mind being propositioned by a 20 something year old female. Only shopping I do these days is at guitar stores:)

That's my buddy's line.

I tell my wife I won't let the next wife wear her clothes because she doesn't like the style.

I can joke about this kind of stuff now, but I still flash back to when my wife caught me in bed with another woman. The screaming, the crying, the begging on bended knee and offers to do anything, just ANYTHING - but my wife couldn't convince her to take me.
