Default I Am BRILLIANT!

After many years of marriage, with the kidsgrown and out of the house, you get to a point where Christmas gifts get real simple. No more guessing or attempts to surprise. So,here's a conversation I had with my wife this afternoon.

ME:What do you want for Christmas?
HER:I'd really like a turquoise ring to match those ear rings you gave me last year.
ME:Fine, we can go shopping and you can pick one out, or you can just go out and buy the one you want.
HER: OK, I'll start looking. What do you want?
ME: Well, remember that little gun I was looking at in Cabala's, the Omega X7. I've been thinking about getting one but it's almost $400.
HER:Another gun? Don't you have enough guns yet?
ME: Yeah, I guess. But here's the thing. We've been married over 40 years and I'm happy as a clam. Looked at other women but never touched. Never felt the need for variety
in women. But guns are different. I sure enjoyplaying around with a different one now and then.
HER:You ought to go to Cabala's and pick it out yourself because I wouldn't know what I'm looking at. You want some ice cream?

Am I brilliant, or what?

You can do that. It's no more dangerous than putting smokless powder in a sidelock.
