Wife gave me the Bird!
Talking with the wife today while at work and told her I was thinking about buying a red 1680 as a Christmas gift from me to me. In reality I was just sizing up her mood and planting another seed. She just stared. So, I thought I would be coy and asked her over to my desk to see something. Usually I have a picture of lactating women or such. This time, when she came over I showed her the below picture. She asked why I was showing her a picture of the same type watch I have been buying as she can go home and see six or seven of them. I replied, "honey look it is a red 1680; ain't she purity". She asked where was the red and when I pointed our the red script she said, "you are a fu@#$%g idiot...that is a red sub?.....why do you keep buying watches that all look the same" and walked off. Good thing is that she did not say no. Will test the waters later this week as she is buying new furniture for the trailer.
