Sad Tale

Post by michaelwhittmann »

My wife wanted to get me a tank for my birthday.

What was I gonna say except YES?

I said get me anything I didn't already have.

I don't have a PANTHER. So she got me a one.

Except and I think you can guess where this is going.

She got me an HL PANTIGER from Toucan. :headbang:

The box is sitting here and she doesn't understand why
I haven't opened it. Usually when I get a new tank, I
attack.

Time for me to come clean.

Oh dear. The guys at Toucan were probably giggling as they rang up the sale.

This is going to be rude and upset you more

You asked for a Panther not a Panther G so you got what you asked for.

but Happy Birthday

Why not paint it pink, get some cool decals made for it & gift it to her for a Xmas present? Am sure she'd love the thought. :haha:

Oh, I'm sure once you point out the error of her ways...she'll never buy you another tank. :)
