Really, it's Bill's fault that I can't go with you this weekend...I'm really tore up about it, cause you KNOW I'd rather be hanging out with your family than working on my truck, but this is just how it has to be. So you can blame it all on Bill. You know the old saying Honey - 'You gotta make hay when the sun shines'...and right now, the sun is BLAZING! I'll miss you so much, and will be thinking of you the ENTIRE time! Be careful driving up there and back."

Smooth as silk baby....


Yea that would really work, if she had the IQ of a goldfish... She would just say "well if its in his way tell him to take it out of the shop. You can work on it again next week." If we didn't have something else to drive that would be fine.I agreed to this trip as a plea bargain a couple months ago. Remember Tyler, your wife is my sister, she is a blonde, I grew up with her. I don't know how that crap would even get by with her.

All I can say is "wwwhhhhh-pssssshhh". That's the sound a whip makes!

And she's not really blonde...more like light auburn. There's some red in there as well. Hehe.

I didn't know the sound of a whip (Unlike you I am not used to hearing it)....

I wasn't talking about her hair color, more so her personality.....

Touche.... Remember that's my sister your talking about!

You all let me be, I got this stuff figured out! My wife, went to college, has a better job than me, has benefits, makes more money... Not to mention she went to school for culinary, and baking and pastries! She brings home the money and cooks for me. If she wants me to go to the in-laws for the weekend.... I will go. If momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!

Did you use your big boy voice, or the submissive, stuttering, soft whining "yes dear" voice? Haha. It makes a difference.

Wow. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. With Bill and his minions, I mean family, running around, this thread never had a chance to stay on topic! Lol

Alex, I almost spit out my drink reading your post!

Tyler's line does work. I've used it many times. LOL.

Disclaimer- it is less efficient with each use. Once you've used it 5-6 times in a row, it is no longer useful in the bag-o-tricks and you must come up with a new excuse. Also take note, broken parts are sufficient excuse for modifications if played right. You get called an idiot a few times b/c you keep breaking your truck (likely from doing stupid ***** in attempt to break it), but in the end you get what you want.

My newest route has worked the best so far. I've been single for the last 6 months or so for the first time in 6 years. Naturally, my bank account took an immediate nose dive with the ability to be in the shop working on stuff literally every weekend.

Well maybe that was the issue. I used something to that extent the past few times I have went trout fishing. One of those times left her(wife) by herself at a hotdog sale at our church....

There several issues I can see with this situation.just observations really.

1) jasons wife is a very accomplished preparer of food(brother gotta eat)

2) I have seen her with a bow,and would not want to try those odds.

With the crazy hours I used to work, I always told my wife, "I'll be home when I get home". Then when I finally walked in the door it was "where have you been?". I could not win! LOL
