I have a rule...never buy my wife a gift unless it is something that I want myself! (golf clubs, motorcycle, video game, hooker)

The washer is s definately a bad gift item. It would be viewed the same as having the vaccum cleaner repaired/replaced for her birthday  |

They are allowed to buy us tools, that we may fix stuff around the house with, (and of course they always buy the wrong ones so we need to return them to get what we really need), but we are not allowed to buy them a new vacuum cleaner that might pick up dirt better than the old one, (which we will inevitably buy the wrong brand and they will need to return it to get the one they told us to buy in the first place?)  As Yoda might say "Vicious circle, that is, hmm?) And yeah, you are right DS... them vacuum cleaners can cost about the same if not more than a nice pair of diamond earrings. Ahh, but there must be some unwritten rule or law that women must abide by when receiving any jewelry that has actual gemstones in or on it. It would seem that they are NOT allowed to exchange, trade, return or even criticize our choice or style of jewelry we decide to give to them. Another crucial thing to remember is this: which gift offers the better suction power?  |

LOL I remember once MANY years ago on Mother's day, my Dad got her a set of scrub brushes, broom, and dustpan. During the moment of shocked silence, my sister and I got out of the room FAST. We wanted no part of the oncoming storm! He never did that again!

A man walks into his bedroom and sees his wife packing a suitcase. He asks, 'What are you doing?'
She answers, 'I'm moving to New York . I heard prostitutes there get paid $400 a night for doing what I do for you for free.'
A little later, on her way out, the wife walks past the bedroom and sees her husband packing his suitcase.
When she asks him where he is going, he replies,
I'm coming too. I want to see how you live on $800 a year.
