When your wife buys you a new riding lawnmower, leaf blower, snow blower etc, you consider it a pretty good deal. But, if you buy her a vacuum cleaner or dish washer, etc you are in trouble. What's up with that? Not that, after forty years of marriagen I'd ever do THAT again! 
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

We just had our 20th wedding anniversary. I bought the wife an elliptical machine. In my defense though, it is a very good elliptical machine

So, you're sayin' that box of Tide and the lovely flowered ironing board cover, purchased with love and thoughtfulness, may have contributed to my failed marriage?

What's wrong with loving fat women?
I have no faith in human perfectability. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active - not more happy - nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago.

They only buy you those things so you can finish up the yard work sooner. Then you can take her to the mall.

I bought my ex-wife a match set of 12 & 20 GA. Browning OU shotguns as an 20th anniversary gift three months before I filed for divorce.

From Ace HQ,
...in 1899, J S Thurman patented the motor-driven vacuum cleaner.
His next words were, "Now that you have so much time, go make me a sammich."
