Hypothetical question

This is a hypothetical question:

Lets say, a friend of mine, is getting a new driver. He has not told his wife that he bought it yet. He will have the money to send to the credit card with out his wife knowing but just in case that she sees the statement before he gets to it what does he tell her?

To wife: "You ruined your birthday suprise!"

"Identity theft!!!"

"They said it was free, I just had to pay the shipping!"

"Now before you get upset, ______ from golfrewind.com told me to lie to you, but I made sure not to get the mail so that you would look at the bill first."

"It's a discontinued item, so I got a deal on it. And it's nonrefundable."

"It was for charity."

"Only one driver? It was suppose to be a His & Hers set!"

Or you could just do the manly thing - grab a pillow and blanket and head for the couch...


aside: It took me about 5 minutes to make all of this up. That doesn't reflect well on me does it?

Use of friends to obtain golf equipment with inquiring wives is thought to be protocol I'd have to believe -- :nodsmiley

I really don't want to be responsible for the death of one of GR members. I have to set a better example now that I'm older. (hypothetically speaking of course)

So this is about your new driver, and the wife not approving, right??

B/C if she realizes that it's the same head as the old one, just a different shaft, she'll kill you?



How about "that's just code for the new washer/dryer set i was getting for you as a surprise, but now that you accused me of buying new clubs, i'm going to return them..."

I think your avatar is rather prophetic for this - the kitten is Mrs. Scott1s and you're the "birdie".
