I never did that, I used a different technique. When the wife asked how much a new toy cost, "Baby, it was only $3000." She would go up like a rocket on the Fourth of July! After a few minutes I would tell her that it was only $750. She would cool off instantly. "That's a lot better then." Funny thing, if I had told her $750 to begin with she would have been just as mad but then I wouldn't have a fall back plan!
Always wondered about a friend's wife management plan. When he decided to make a big purchase or already had it on order he would wine and dine her, bring her flowers and candy, the full court press like when you are dating and fixing to pop the question or you got drunk and porked her sister. I never was sure who was managing who!
I thought twenty years had the cue well into the Adams era too so I wasn't getting too excited. I see somebody is selling Ballabushas on e-bay and around now. Guess they are just fishing for one sucker. There is a pool table for sale right now, supposed to have been a prop in The Hustler. Somehow I still don't see the $53,000 they are asking for a table.
