... women rule and that is the way it is with Chaim too:

Poor Gene, there he goes trying to be tight-tongued and diplomatic and then wife and daughter ruin it all. I think the whole scene is priceless.

If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.

Troof...across all groups!

A. You basically have two options agreeing with your wife:

1. You give in immediately. That is often misconstrued as "You didn't even listen to what I asked!" or "So it doesn't even interest you!"

2. You feign counter-arguments, but eventually give in. That bears the risk of reprimands along the lines of "Why do you always have to argue?" or "Is it so hard to agree with me right from the start?" Plus the notorious: "We always seem to disagree about things."

B. There are no really workable options of disagreeing with your wife, it's all theoretic.

C. It is possible. But you'd have to do without sex for at least one month.
So I guess that ends up to be the same as B?

Like I said: No workable options for disagreeing.

In a better Jewish household, Shannon would have respected her husband's wishes but Shannon isn't Jewish. I'm bummed Ted Nugent or Hank Williams Jr. or Charlie Daniels didn't show up. Nice job by Sam Moore on America the Beautiful.

Neiter did Lynyrd Skynyrd or Alice Cooper, both card-carrying Republican supporters in previous elections.

Not even Jack Blades from Night Ranger.

I usually go for the first option, saves ALOT of time. The trick is to don't answer immediately, just act like you care for a minute or so (maybe ask to clear a couple of things or something), and then agree with her. This strategy almost never fails.
