My wife did the unthinkable today.

just tell her to "hush up woman, you just sit there and look pretty". that should divert her attention away from the topic of aviation for a bit.

P.S. - don't do that ^^^^

Yeah don't do that. Instead, "hey woman, **** off".
That's what I would say, yep, I would. If I wasn't scared of my wife that's what I'd say. Yup. :cool:
 
Ask her how much she spends on shoes, clothes, hair products, nick knacks, furniture, etc. If nothing else, you can always stay in the hangar.
For bonus points, tell her that you’ll sell the plane to fund your retirement and she can sell her shoes to fund her retirement.
 
My Wife Did the Unthinkable Today

...and that's when the fight started. Just like:

My wife and I were watching Who Wants To Be A Millionaire while we were in bed.

I turned to her and said, 'Do you want to have Sex?'

'No,' she answered. I then said,

'Is that your final answer?'

She didn't even look at me this time, simply saying, 'Yes..'

So I said, "Then I'd like to phone a friend."

And that's when the fight started...

My wife and I were sitting at a table at her school reunion, and she kept staring at a drunken man swigging his drink as he sat alone at a nearby table.

I asked her, "Do you know him?"

"Yes", she sighed,

"He's my old boyfriend.

I understand he took to drinking right after we split up those many years ago, and I hear he hasn't been sober since." "My God!" I said, "Who would think a person could go on celebrating that long?"

And then the fight started...

When our lawn mower broke and wouldn't run, my wife kept hinting to me that I should get it fixed. But, somehow I always had something else to take care of first, the shed, the boat, making beer... Always something more important to me. Finally she thought of a clever way to make her point.

When I arrived home one day, I found her seated in the tall grass, busily snipping away with a tiny pair of sewing scissors. I watched silently for a short time and then went into the house. I was gone only a minute, and when I came out again I handed her a toothbrush. I said, "When you finish cutting the grass, you might as well sweep the driveway."

The doctors say I will walk again, but I will always have a limp.

My wife sat down next to me as I was flipping channels.

She asked, "What's on TV?"

I said, "Dust."

And then the fight started...

Saturday morning I got up early, quietly dressed, made my lunch, and slipped quietly into the garage. I hooked up the boat up to the van and proceeded to back out into a torrential downpour. The wind was blowing 50mph, so I pulled back into the garage, turned on the radio, and discovered that the weather would be bad all day.

I went back into the house, quietly undressed, and slipped back into bed. I cuddled up to my wife's back; now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is terrible." My loving wife of 5 years replied, "And, can you believe my stupid husband is out fishing in that?"

And that's how the fight started....

My wife was hinting about what she wanted for our upcoming anniversary.

She said, "I want something shiny that goes from 0 to 180 in about 3 seconds.

I bought her a bathroom scale.

And then the fight started......

After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me for my driver's Licence to verify my age.

I looked in my pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back later.

The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'. So I opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair.

She said, 'That silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed my Social Security application.

When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the Social Security office. She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You might have gotten disability too.'

And then the fight started...

My wife was standing nude, looking in the bedroom mirror. She was not happy with what she saw and said to me, "I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.' I replied, "Your eyesight's darn near perfect."

And then the fight started...

Thank you, Tim! That made my day
 
This was all put into motion by sharing the insurance quotes on the new plane I've had my eye on (lesson learned on over-sharing I guess).

My wife is sweet. The other day I mentioned that the plane insurance premium is set to drop by $1500. She took it to mean it would decrease by that amount each month ;-)
 
Cheryl does not enjoy flying and never has. But she does encourage my enthusiasm with it. She's the kind of person who, if she saw me looking at something online (other than porn), not having a clue what it was..."you should get that".
 
Ask her how much she spends on shoes, clothes, hair products, nick knacks, furniture, etc. If nothing else, you can always stay in the hangar.
Now that question to her will really start a fight, better to deflect the question than to answer

Showed this to my wife, she loved em, she’s got a sense of humor. While she was reading, I grabbed my phone and ordered a new headset from Sporty’s. Glad she’s not a speed reader.
 
She didn't say which college. "I thought we had a college fund?" "Yes, I've been saving up all these years for him to go to the College of Hard Knocks. Now who wants an airplane ride?"
 
You could play the "the airplane IS the college fund" and follow up with the "I don't know why it's not selling (for twice the market price)" ploy, but I don't recommend it.
 
My wife is sweet. The other day I mentioned that the plane insurance premium is set to drop by $1500. She took it to mean it would decrease by that amount each month ;-)

Nah she was figuring she had $1500 to spend on herself, but yeah, probably monthly. ;) :)
 
Therapy is, like, $200/hr. You'd need a LOT of it without the airplane.
