Funniest thing I saw this Valentine's Day was an ad for a service for guys. For a $500 fee they would show up as cops and arrest you in front of your wife, take you to a fishing cabin stocked with bait and beer, and return you after the weekend. Pretty sure it was a joke but very hilarious.
Mrs. Reinecke wouldn't do that. How many decades have we been hearing about "the fetching Mrs. Reinecke"? She'd say, "Have fun, booger butt!" and wave goodbye smiling. Which of course would guilt you into blowing the whole con, apologizing, and slinking back into the house. No fishing for you!
