Saw this posted on the internet. pretty funny and a lesson to all us guys that may tell our wives a fib now and then. Pretty funny.
For years I have been telling my wife when I wanted to get out of doing something that I had to mix up a new batch of 2 cycle gas for all the lawn equipment. Now I have to admit I have led her to believe that this was a very complicated process,it could take a long long time. So tonight she says I want to watch you so I know how to do it. ****, can you believe it , all I had on hand was those little one mix packets that you mix with 1 gallon of gas. So she watches me squeeze the pack of oil in the gas can, all the while I keep looking at the oil pack like it was absolutely critical that I did not make a mistake. Then she says that’s it, that’s all you have to do? I then tell her that no you have to add exactly 1 gallon of gas or all hell could break loose. Can you imagine she refused to go away at this point. Then all I could think to tell her is we now have to do a specific gravity test to make sure that all is right. She still refuses to leave at this point. I just happen to look at my tool box and see an antifreeze tester right on top. I thought about taking it the next level at this point, but hated to wreck the tester.
What would you have done?

Probably the best advice yet
Or you could have continued the ruse. "Honey, now we have to cool it to exactly 3.467 degrees celsius, then measure the specific gravity again and make adjustments as necessary, then warm it to room temperature and test it again…

same as the other times when she gets outta line.
smacked her on the ass and told her to git back in the kitchen.

You could try that too, but it wouldn’t work out so well in my house:face_with_head_bandage:

If my wife was that gullable I probably would have wrecked the tester, then progressed to “the stabilizer procedure”, then maybe the “distillation process” which takes close observation over the next 1-2 days. In reality my wife couldn’t give a rat’s rip about the gas and has said that if I die first she’s gonna buy a beachfront condo so there will be no yardwork for her. The best way I have found to get out of most things is to just tell her you’ve had too many beers today to to that/go there.
can’t believe you skipped the evaporation and stain wicking test, you can’t be sure of the product quality without those tests, they take at least 2 beers
I’da took her into the bedroom, made her toes curl, scream and pant so she didn’t give a (**() what I did.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.
