We don't need women. They should be in the kitchen propagating the species and making sandwiches.

They like it better if you call them "sammiches".

It's like that for some wives, too. Fortunately, not for Mrs. T-B.

They like it better when YOU'RE making the sammiches. Better be some Cheetos on the side.

Cheetos on the side.

Posted elsewhere here, 4 March 2012:

Today, Mrs. T-B. looked at me with those big brown puppy-dog eyes and said, "I want Cheetos." I later went out and got her some (the store brand) in a 9-oz. bag or whatever. She immediately brightened, said "I was hoping that you would get me some!", ate about a third of the bag, set it down for a while, then said (not accusingly, but sadly): "I'm on a diet. How will I ever lose weight if you keep buying me Cheetos?"

I said, "I also bought some ice cream, because you said that you wanted some." I sat and watched the late news while eating the ice cream. She said (with the puppy-dog eyes) "Can I have some ice cream?" I said, "I thought you said that you were on a diet." She said, "I am, so give me just a little, in a small cup -- half, half!"

I brought Mrs. T-B. a full small cup of ice cream, because I know her, si man. Had I not, she would have asked for seconds after she finished the lesser portion that she had asked for.

She ate 99.44% of it and handed the cup back to me, saying, "I don't want the rest -- I'm on a diet. You eat it, please." I did so, because I was about to begin washing dishes and I wanted to get her cup & spoon into the process, si man.

I'd offer you the Baked Cheetos as a healthy option, but that would be playing with fire. If those Juicy's aren't stretched to the breaking point, you just ain't doin it right!
