While in a local sporting goods store a while back we were looking at ML's. My GF says "if you want one, I will get you one for your B-Day". After I got up off the floor, I picked out a nice Traditions Inline. We arent't married yet, and she doesnt like guns.

Hehehehee Good point!!

Though slightly off track yet dead on: me " so this guy at work offered me this pistol for 2/3 of market" My wife " Well if it makes you happy go ahead." ," You are going to let me shoot it first this time aren't you ?"

My girlfriend rooled her eyes and told me "why can't you be a normal guy and look up porn"

Patrick McManus wrote an article years ago called "Gunrunning past your wife":

Now it is a running joke with me and my wife. So it goes like this:

Wife: "Is that a new gun?"
Me: "This old thing? I have had it for a long time!" (of course, I bought it and put it in the gun safe for a few days before I pulled it out where my wife could see it!)

Unfortunately, she now pulls it on me. "This old thing (dress, shoes, etc)? I have had them for a long time!"

Hey txhunter, your mention of Patrick McManus brought back some memories and caused me to dig some of his books out of the closet for a re-read. They are all compilations of his short stories and magazine articles: They Shoot Conoes, Don't They, Real Ponies Don't Go OINK!, The Night The Bear Ate Goombaw, The Grasshopper Trap, andRubber Legs and White Tail-Hairs.If any of you guys haven't read his stuff, you should ask you local library to get them for you. He's one of the funniest outdoor writers ever.

SEMISANE I ws lucky enought to meet him and get his autograph. He is as funny in person as in his writing. I have not found anyone w/ his wit who writes about the outdoor world.

- Why do you need so much stuff just to hunt?
- I really wish you would find a cheaper hobby!
- Its not even season so why are you buying stuff now?
- Why do you shoot so much, if you cant shoot by now maybe you should just stop.
-How come every time we go somewhere you always have to buy something, you always have to have something?
- It never ends does it?
- I dont leave you all the time to go enjoy a hobby, you leave me here with these kids while you are out having fun.
- I cant get a hobby because we cant afford it because you spend so much on yours.

Just a few things, I think I am going to go home and open up a cold beer and put on my wife beater, and play with some guns... hehehehe (Just Kidding)

here is one that my wife said to me this morning that made since.

You can't go to the range today, it is pouring down rain.


I have heard that one more then once.
