Yesterday was my wife and I's 47th anniversary. To control and contain my PAD and TAD; my wife and I reached a mutually satisfying understanding. Since my PAD/TAD had gotten a little unraveled in past years, she told me that as long as she approved any and all pipe related purchases first; she wouldn't cut my balls off.

Since I would like to keep my balls for a few more years I agreed to her terms. There have been times in the past two years when I really had to think if my balls were really all that important. Nonetheless I have abided by her terms.
So it was a huge shock yesterday when she presented me with a beautifully wrapped box and said sweetly, "Happy Anniversary. I was even more shocked when I opened the box and found 4 tins of John Cotton's Smyrna inside. Now I understood her line of questions three weeks ago. I was kind of surprised because we do talk about pipe smoking, her baking and her bathing suit choices, all of which I can assure you that I heartily approve of (back to the cut your balls off kind of thing again) I remember that the conversation was unusual in that she pressed me on details of WHAT I would like to smoke if I was allowed some TAD leeway. I told her about the Smyrna and I guess she latched on to that.

I will have a bowl tonight and of course even if it makes me puke my guts out and I DON'T like it; well it will be best thing since her last batch of homemade bread and latest swimsuit acquisition.

Which just goes to prove that I'm still the boss of the house. Sort. Of. Maybe. I will check with her and ask her.

Nice! Happy anniversary. I have also recently been asked to compare the value of my balls to the value of my PAD/TAD. Like you, I chose to retain the former. And like you, my loving wife was willing to compromise and still allows the purchase of cheap estates on ebay for restoration projects. As long as I promised to sell some of them when they were finished. Of course, they will all require extensive testing, tweaking, and field trials.....
I am also the King of my Castle......with situational approval when the occasion warrants it....

Happy B-day, shikano, in all respects! Old what's-her-name & I aren't quite that far along (-10), but fortunately for me she likes my pipes & I've never complained about her yarn & fabric. Good thing, too, since I've got a lovely new Sav Autograph on its way in the mail. :)

Happy Anniversary! Here’s hoping that you get to keep your nutsack for a few more years.

Well, of course, AK! After all, ethics requires that you can't sell somebody something unless it's right, right?!
That's right, Bill. An honest man would never sell someone a pipe without first making sure the Briar doesn't burn out after only 70 or 80 bowls.

Happy Anniversary!

My wife would never cut off my balls.

She's more of a superglue your wanker to your thigh kind of girl.

Happy Anniversary! I once went searching for my balls in my wife's purse. I thought I had one until I realized it was an EOS egg shaped lip balm.

47 years! Congrats, I'm about 36 years behind you.
Indeed, indeed. Many happy returns. I am 40 years behind this, and in awe of those who achieve such milestones, even if their jewels are in hock at times.

Happy anniversary to you both. I hope both of you keep all parts of your anatomy on into a happy golden age. The tone of your OP reminded me of the old line:
"No one tells me what to wear. I wear what ever I want. Honey, what do I want to wear?"
Nice tobacco gift!

E and I will have been together 22 years in October and married 19 in December.
Not bad, considering my first marriage was 7 months long!
