Are you telling me that I need to be prepared to spend $500 for an engine instead of $300 for the next 4 planes I have lined up to build? What am I supposed to tell the wife?
Heck yes, that's what we are suggesting. Spend lots of money on airplanes and engines.
Errr, as to the wife thing. Say nothing. Wives aren't supposed to know what we do. As if we know the true cost of that last pair of heels she bought. The way I see it, keeping them in the dark is just leveling the playing field a little.
When caught, look dumb right away. It usually works. Or, cut to the chase and go the sympathy route. Women have no resistance to attacks on their sympathy. They are helpless.
