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.

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)

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