My neighbor’s wife is a Conniving, Cheating, Self-centered little bitch of a cunt that has everything that money can buy but still acts like she needs everything better and sucks the money from my neighbor like he is a drinking fountain.  
She tells him what to do, how to do it, and when to do it.

oh, yea… my answer is no

Oh, yes, I do. And his two 20-something daughters who live there too. And they have a pool. I find myself out doing work on the laptop often in the afternoons. To be fair, he spends a lot of time in the gym, and my wife finds reasons to be near the kitchen window when it’s lawn day. The problem for me is that he’s the county sheriff, he’s well armed (this is the South, and sheriff’s are gods), and all I can do is covet.

Man, I covet about a half dozen people on the ride to work.

But my neighbor’s wife is butt-ugly. And old. And really cranky.

So technically, no.

Nope. I am married to the most beautiful woman in my neighborhood. Hands down. And proud of it 🙂

Anyway, what bernse said: Well, when she be my wife. 😉

No, no, no, no!!!

Mine would make the aforementioned John Candy look pretty.

Apparantly, several covet me and watch me when I go running by. My wife likes to tell me this, just to watch me cringe!
