Since joining this forum 10 years ago I have read many posts from members wanting to buy a certain model but “how do I sneak it past the admiral?” Is a constant subject.
I too was in that group. Then:
Woke up this morning and bravely announced that I was going to purchase a new model.
That was it. No barking, no biting. I thought she would at least growl a bit. Nope. Only comment was “where are you going to put this one?”
There you go fellas. Piece of cake.
Give her the news!
P.S. not responsible for any injuries you may incur.
 
“All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable;
when using our forces, we must appear inactive;
when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away;
when far away, we must make him believe we are near.”

The Art of War, Chapter 1

I am constantly preparing for this, book is always open on the table...
 
Whatever I want usually costs me twice as much. First, I just have to surprise the Admiral with a Lego set she's been wanting, then how can she say no?

Still have the "Where are you going to put it?" issue, but it now applies to both of us. ROTF
