"I picked this stuff up at the Salvation Army...sound's pretty good, eh? And with the money we saved we'll be able to build that deck out back that you've been asking for!" Then make sure to get up, give her a big hug, take out the garbage, and go and pick up some nice flowers, some chocalate, and some good wine to make up with her after she discovers you're lying like a sack, as usual. Don't even think she won't my friend. Women are hard-wired to detect such things. Little red lights go off somewher inside their heads, along with a nagging alarm, much like the 'dive' signal in those old submarine movies. The alarm causes headaches that can last for months. No, I sh*t you not...I've heard the alarm myself coming out'ta my wife's ears that time I told her I just wanted to store the LaScala's in the living room for a few days while I cleared a space for them at work. They got some gel knee pads over at Home Depot that'll really save your knees for all that time you spend on them begging for forgiveness. Don't forget the wine. You may want to rent a Johnny Depp film too.
