I've been with my wife for over 20 years. Love her to death, and I'm thankful every morning that she didn't kill me in my sleep. She gave me 2 wonderful boys, and likes the dog (sometimes more than me)


Some shit that women do, I understand.
Some shit, no one can understand.

I've been trying to figure out this "pillow" shit for a while now.

Can some one here (man or one of the lovely ladies here) please tell me why have 27 pillows between the 3 couches and 3 beds in this house?
I'm not going to mention that I found a big container with 4 more pillows in it.
I'm not counting the 2 dog beds as pillows.

Can I understand this phenomenon, or should I just keep on nodding my head and moving a pillow out of the way?

Keep nodding your head... smile, don't make any sudden moves or threatening gestures.

Of those two options, I would pick #2.

Half of the pillows that my wife distributes around the house are "decorative". This is female code for "not for actual use".

How many handguns do you have? Got a 'big container' w/ additional firearms in it? You know, like 'back-up pillows', except they're guns? You should probably keep nodding your head and count your blessings...Just sayin'

I still want to know why they cross their arms and then pull off their shirts. It doesn’t have to do with boobs either because flat chested women also do it from the best of my memory.

How do you get them to do that? (Asking for a friend)

It's like the towels that are embroidered in a way that makes them crap for drying your hands.

Kinda like the soap in the bathroom...
Weird shit if you ask me.

They are like pistol mags,
You can't have too many. ( TO THEM)

Oh no, my friend! I covered this base when we moved in together.
I noticed she had an, well, let's just say "abundance" of shoes / boots.

Now shoes / boots / sandals I get.
I understand the "why" behind that stuff in their head. Purses too. THIS has to match THAT, and THIS is more comfortable, but when it's muddy, she needs to wear THAT, unless she's dressing up, then it's THOSE boots... And THAT purse goes better with this outfit than THAT one, but if she's just "going out", it's THAT ONE, but of she's "going out-out", THIS ONE...

It took me a minute to figure out, but I got it.


Back to the "gun stuff"...
So I introduced an excellent philosophy I took from the Military circa "Clinton Era"
"Don't ask, don't tell"
So the Shoe : Gun ratio in Casa de CPD SIG is perfect!

I have no idea how many shoes, and I ain't askin'

But the damn pillows...
I just don't get it...

Perfect! Sooo, what the hell is up w/ all those pillows then?

Ya man. You can’t even wax the car with those.

Just keep on moving those pillows and get on with life. Not a battle worth fighting.

The last time my wife hassled me about gun stuff, I very calmly said “I want to point out to you that not once have I ever said one thing about how many pairs of shoes you have, how many jackets and coats you have, or anything at all of that nature. Do you agree?” She froze, paused for a solid three count and said, “no, you haven’t,” and walked away without an other word. And that was that. That trick won’t work more than a few times, I’m sure, and I don’t hassle her about nearly all the standard woman things she does… but I do give her some good-natured shit about the pillows because I can’t understand how she sleeps propped up to the point where she’s nearly sitting upright.

27 Pillows,,,


you got off easy

There may be 8 pillows on our 2 couches [came with the couches] but there's only 2 on the bed.

My lovely and intelligent wife figured out long ago that guns don't usually depreciate. If you are losing money on guns you are doing it wrong. However see how you do selling used shoes, jackets, purses or pillows.

I just nod

12 pillows on the bed. Only 4 are usable for sleeping

I think it's a man's thing to not understand and a woman's thing to put 10 pillows on the bed. At least this is my limited experience. I've found exceptions but they are few and far between.

'cause it raises the front shirt tail out over the boobs. Large or small. Doesn't matter.
