Lie you told your wife to buy equipment?

It's ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. That's a credo to live by for married men (ha ha ha). Don't lie, just wait until it's a done deal. Most times my wife doesn't notice a different piece of equipment. When she does, honesty is the best policy for me. It is a combination of don't ask, don't tell, and asking for forgiveness rather than permission.

And why exactly are all you gentlemen still married? Is there really any upside at this point?
