**I _hate_ to tell my wife "I told you so"**

What a blatant lie. We all love to say “I told you so” because self-righteous anger is temporarily quite satisfying. What I hate is how I feel _after_ I say it.

_Trump card?_ Oh, sweet bloody Jesus. I pity the relationship that plays that game.

You guys have all heard my story, i’m sure, about how my wife really owes me for me bailing her out, well last night i told her she still hasn’t really made it up to me. I was kinda surprised but she said she would make my wildest fantasy cum true! So I’m sure you all can guess what i said… KFC and SEX :)~ She gotta little bit pissed when i dripped some really hot bbq sauce on her head when she was giving me “fellatio” but other than that it went pretty good. Anyway, we’re back on good terms now that were both satisfied, i’m not hungry anymore and well, she’s had her fill too 😉 I figured i’d let you guys in on all the juicy gossip over here. I have got to go put some clothes on the draft in here is killing me. See you guys.

I dunno, I would’ve left her in for about an hour or two, then ask if she became anybody’s girlfriend. After a week of snide jokes (“That’s the sound of the men, get back, workin on the chain, ooh ah, ga-ee-ang!”) I’d let it pass, and drive her MYSELF to court.

> By the way, here’s the final scoop. Her bail was $1,390! If she had taken care of this when she was supposed to, it would have cost only $15! Now she has another court date set, and if she misses this one the bond will be $100,000 Cash!_\*

The things some gals gotta do just to get away from the house and hubby for a few days.

This is a good one! And this is how my wife pays me back when I told her I posted her ordeal on the SDMB! When will I ever learn?

You posted her ordeal, she posted that you dripped hot sauce on her head.

I’m thinking you guys are squared up now. 😃
