Heck, I'd be happy if I could say that about my wife!

Well you're one up on me. I'm flawed and sometimes very hard to understand. Just ask my wife. I think she's related to Eric's

Allan, I think ALL women are related in THAT respect!

That reminds me of a story I like to tell, especially, this time of year:

A guy's wife bought him 2 neckties for Christmas.
After opening their gifts, they were getting dressed to go out visiting.
He decided to put on one of the new ties his wife had given him,
being certain she'd be pleased he decided to wear her gift.
He proudly makes his appearance so she could see him wearing the new tie.
She looked at the tie, then looked at him and asked,
"What's wrong with the other one?"

I like this joke because it proves that no matter what you say or do, it's wrong.
Also, no matter where you put something, that's not where it belongs.
