[Woodcarver] How Big Dog got me in trouble! (Chat)

[Joe Dillett]

Hi Ed,

It's always the best bet is be perfectly honest with her. It also helps if
your short term memory is shot than you can honestly say, "I don't
remember."

My forgetter is getting better. So better that I may be able to run for a
higher office in politics.

> I saw a few things I wanted in the catalog of The Woodcraft Shop.  Put
some on my Christmas wish list.
>
> My wife, bless her heart, took note.  She asked me about The Woodcraft
Shop.  I said I'd never ordered from them before, but they came highly
recommended, and had a very complete catalog.
>
> On Christmas morning I started opening my gifts.  A dialogue something
like the following ensued:
>
> (me) "Oh, great, you ordered me something for wood carving!"
> (she) "I thought you said you never ordered from there before?"
> (me) "I never did."
> (she) "Did you ever meet the guy who runs it?"
> (me) "Nope."
> (she) "Well".....(a pause that read something like "I can't believe
anything you say any more!")...he certainly seems to know you!!!!"
> (me) "Why do you say that?"
> (she) "After I called and made my order, he didn't even ask for the credit
card number.  When I asked if he wanted it, he said "OK, or I could send you
a bill".  I said "you would do that"?  He said "Oh yes, (my name) has
excellent credit with me".   Pause........"
> (me)  "Yeah, well, those midwesterners are pretty nice folks.  And
woodcarvers are very trustworthy.".
> (she)  "So how much stuff HAVE you ordered from there before?"
> (me)  "Nothing, Hon!"
> (and on, and on....)
>
>
> More than a week has passed, and I'm still suspect.  She still isn't
convinced that I'm haven't been a steady customer for months, or years.
>
> I'll have to be careful about my future orders, either letting her know
about everything in advance, or taking pains to keep them completely hidden
from her.
> Which is the best road to follow?
