Yeah, that's a solid gold classic. _______________________________________________ “What sickens me about left-wing people, especially the intellectuals, is their utter ignorance of the way things actually happen.” ~ George Orwell "That's one thing about intellectuals.

I have never seen or heard SWMBO used outside of a Rumpole episode. | |||

I posted this in another thread: Rumpole got it from an 1887 novel by H. Rider Haggard entitled She: A History of Adventure. Hammer Studios made a film of the book in 1965 starring Peter Cushing, Chris Lee, and Ursula Andress as "She". (Ursula was very easy on the eyeballs.) It's a fun film.

TMats, I actually kind of agree with you. Not really funny but to each their own. Also without a context or story using it just sounds annoying. YMMV | |||

Yeah it's funny, until you see guys lamenting how they can't buy shit because of SWMBO. Then it's just sad OR the guys are really too stupid / buying shit they shouldn't. | |||

I learned something new. I thought it came from an old Star Trek episode. | |||

I guess that depends upon ones perspective. I spend a lot more of our money on stuff I want than she does on stuff she wants, that's for damn sure. She's not a "things" person. I like my toys. More than once my wife, to whom I sometimes refer as "the family CFO," has vetoed something I wanted to buy. Was she "right" in doing so? I cannot say with certainty, but I can say this: Probably as much due to her keeping a lid on my naturally somewhat profligate spending ways and poor impulse control as anything else: We are comfortably retired and so far have wanted for nothing.
