Can't Leave

When my first wife left, she left a sink full of dishes.. after sitting around for a day or two hating those dishes, I eventually threw them out the back door... I bought new ones. I would have rather been tortured than wash those damn dishes.
I remember walking to a pawn shop with a camera and a ring and having a rough time of it until the clerk pointed out that I wasn't the first guy to walk in there with his exes stuff that day. And I wouldn't be the last. We had a chuckled about it and then if I remember correctly I got smashingly drunk.

What pipe sale? The Peterson one? I remember last year they did 15-20% off all estate pipes IIRC. I’m a sucker for a sale. I wish free shipping on every order for silver members was a thing.

In the interest of balance: Differences between pipes and men. A pipe doesn't get floppy in five minutes after promising an hour long smoke. Never heard of a pipe leaving you for a younger smoker. Pipes don't care if you use one of those rubber bits for the stems. Never had a nosewarmer claim to be a churchwarden. It's just the Dunhills that think their Gods gift to smokers while generally being average. Pipes never complain about you talking about old news that's still completely relevant to the situation at hand. Only ever had one pipe spend tons of money at gentlemans clubs while lying about it. And I am going to stop there cause it's about to get kind of dark and this is supposed to be funny.

Pipes do not have periods. They perform well if packed properly. Suck on them and you get a pleasing aroma. They perform better dry vs wet.

The choice is a no brainier.
Never understood the whole squeamish thing about periods. I don't know what kind of woman you've been "talking too" (sorry misses Hoosier, so sorry). But I think the middle two points are incorrect. Properly packed they perform exceedingly well and if they made a pipe tobacco that smelled like that I'd need a 20 pipe rotation to get through the day. Last one yeah that's certainly true.

I don't know man. I always go by the advice I got when younger. "if it smells like fish, eat it; if it smells like cologne, leave it alone."

Ref. my post on the alienation of affection suit, I believe I encountered the guy and he did seem to be struggling maybe with obsessive compulsive and severe PAD. He said he had built a collection of about 200 pipes, but had managed it down to 80, but I believe he may have spent more time at the shop than at home. I suspect he was rather preoccupied. The wife had a point, if not a case, I surmise. It sure wasn't the shop owners problem or fault.

So, now you have a pile of old, dirty dishes in your backyard? Not a good plan.
