I said this type of thing today in the store… My wife and I were walking, and there was a guy, mid-30’s, wearing khaki shorts, a blue and white polo shirt, a red hat, and black shoes with knee-height black socks. I told her if I ever dressed myself that badly, she should shoot me… She agreed.

McNew - When you kids say ‘why?’ (or ‘why not?’), don’t say ‘because I said so’. Say ‘parental arbitrariness: an unfortunate, but inherent, component of the parent-child contract’. It’s more fun. And if they’re young enough, it’s vocabulary building. ---

If I ever get my legs and a hand cut off, then catch on fire from the river of lava four feet behind me, please kill me. I _may_ have been watching Ep. III at the time, but I still stand by that one. ---

If I ever: wear a match outfit with my SO give an SO a pet name and use it in public arrange a babysitter to go to a band party think about moving back to my hometown… I’ve given permission to various people to eliminate me on the spot. ---

Great answers. I once vowed never to say, “My Bad,” and anytime one of my students does, I ask them, “Your bad what?” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-i-ever-do-x-kill-me/408965.md?page=1)
