How about we shoot them when they offer to go shopping for us and bring back 95% of the wrong items?
I wanted a liter of milk, not three bags.
I also only wanted a small carton of chocolate milk because it was on sale.
I wanted the HE soap, not that other stuff.
Poor kitten, I can’t blame him…I only wrote it out in full, including prices…
grrr…..
Don’t do my shopping, don’t touch the laundry…I don’t touch your computer, do I?

HA! I just had to pre-tie all of Sarge’s ties, and help him match his shirts and pants. He’s going on a trip next week and I won’t be there to tie his ties for him.
MEN! He’s lucky I adore him.

I suspect that I would never shoot a man while he was scrubbing a toilet either. Provided he did a decent job.

…or the dishes
…or the laundry
…or changing diapers
…or turning over his paycheck
etc., etc., etc.

I actually don’t mind vacuuming so much. It’s kind of like mowing the lawn.

Espanya, next time tell him to get the SHE soap.
MdG, you are much more good-hearted that I… if that were asked of me, I would make sure the pre-tied ties were set up to cut off the oxygen supply.
Yes BB, always check to make sure there are no rings left.
Doc, men turn over paychecks? REally? Where to we find these men?
Patrick, here here. Why is it most men don’t view vacuuming as men’s work yet they are only too happy to fire up the leaf-sucker or operate the street cleaner.

I bet men would like vacuuming if it was a ride-on vacuum cleaner and they could rev the engine…

Saucy!!

To me romance is not flowers and chocolate – it is starting the dishwasher and tidying up the kitchen, it is emptying the garbage, it is sweeping the floor. Hub knows what makes me happy. Not that chocolate doesn’t enhance the happiness, but doing housework for me is what really makes me happy.

Nor has a man been shot by his wife while walking on the surface of Mars – always remember, when it comes to assessing risk, 0 occurences/0 events observed is not a rate of Zero.

The Roomba iRobot is my personal security guard; as long as it is still working I am safe.

Deepti, or if they made vacuum cleaners to look like Howitzers
MdG, and spicy.
H n P – You are my people. I’ve always said that the best aphrodisiac is not flowers and chocolates, but rather the sight of my beloved coming out of a bathroom wearing rubber gloves and carrying a bucket full of dirty water.
Tagbagger, men – if evolved and smart enough – have figured out the powerful aphrodisiacal effect on women of men doing housework.
But if all those zeros in your equation are true, then I guess zero is the outcome. Too bad for those men. Think of what they’re missing.

Dick, I think you mean the robot is safe as long as it is doing the vacuuming. You? Well, take your chances.

Yet that would be the perfect time, since the noise would probably muffle the gunshot.

Now, now GT – remember that anything divided by zero, yields a result of infinity, not zero
Besides, Micheal does the vacuuming not the SS or TB

BeckEye, you think just like Agatha Christie.
tagbagger, well then, I guess Michael gets lucky a lot.

…unless he was vacuuming at two in the morning to drive her nuts, then target practice is on.

WP, ready. aim. fire!!
