[PSUBS-MAILIST] Dealing with a wife (was: Storm and SUB)

Joe, I've got a better idea. How about never dive wrecks without two submarines and escape/retrieval plans so that one can rescue the other? Just tell your wife it's for safety hooonnnneeey!!! See how she likes having two of the damned things in the garage. Vance

The best one I ever heard about this sort of thing was on a warbird mailing list. Seems a guy had found a hell of a deal on a P-51: only $200,000. He'd owned a SNJ, and wanted to go up the ladder. He presented the matter to his wife (offering to sell the SNJ, of course). According to him, she smiled sweetly and said something like, "Of course you may have your toys, but I get to spend as much money on my toys." I don't know what finally happened. Wives can be difficult, but, as we see from this tale, they can be managed -- it'll just cost a lot.
