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.
