The storm I knew was coming suddenly blew in right there in front of me. I'm speaking, of course about my wife Jill. "Honey, what's that out in the garage?" she asked sweetly. Believe me, it wasn't all that sweet if you looked in her eyes and knew what she was getting at. Naturally, I adopted Defense Method 1: Play Dumb.
"What are you talking about, babe?"
"Are you fucking kidding me? You want to pull this shit? Are you serious?"
"What?" Long pause. "What?" Note to self: forget Defense Method 1. It doesn't work as well as you might hope, especially when she goes directly to Response Condition 3.
"Ok, you're going to go there and now you're going to pay for it." Before I could respond, Jill grabbed me by the hair, dragged me violently out to the garage and placed me squarely before the object of my latest desire. I have never been able to believe the strength this little woman has, the determination and the fearlessness she musters when the moment calls for action. Where does it come from and why can I make no defense against it? I'm bigger and stronger but she goes into another world and I'm sorry, call me a wimp but I swear, there's no fighting back. It's like I'm paralyzed or something. If this is an example of moral authority I'm going to have to get myself some of it in the future. That shit is powerful! My hair was burning at the roots. Before us stood a gleaming brand new Harley. Duh, like I didn't know.
Still, Defense Method 1 requires Defense Response 1. "Oh, that! That's our new bike!"
"Oh, I see" she said, her sarcasm was getting edgy. One might say an insane kind of edgy. "And how did "we" pay for "our"...new...bike?"
"Well" I replied taking a mature, serious tone, the echo of the recently failed Defense Method 1 and it's associated response still fresh in my mind and even worse, still fresh in hers, "I got a really great interest rate on an unsecured loan through the credit union. I think you'll be proud of me when you see how great the terms are." She just looked at me, eyeing me steadily, not talking. Ah, there it was, the opening I was looking for. In another second I'd be making the old look at the money we're saving by spending now argument. I liked the way this was going. Maybe Defense Method 1 didn't suck so badly after all. One just has to see it through and develop it a little bit. I was getting ready to hit her with my next point about how I negotiated a deal so great it may even make the evening financial report when Jill jumped in.
"That's what I thought." And with another mighty tug of my hair, she dragged me through the house to the bedroom. "Drop those jeans" she demanded and in a second they were on the floor. I well knew by this time what was going to happen, having had nothing else to think about on my trip from the garage to the bedroom, passing through the kitchen, TV room and down the hall except whether I should get hard saddle bags or soft leather for the bike, what were we going to have for supper and was Elaine's tits on Seinfeld perfect or could they have been just a little larger?
Suddenly I heard a whoosh and felt a terrible stinging pain against my poor, defenseless cock. Although I personally was dreading what was to come, my cock, free, gulping fresh air and finding himself in the presence of his favorite personage was apparently rising in morbid anticipation, the dumb fucking idiot. "You can forget that" she said to me or my cock or perhaps the both of us together, I wasn't quite sure on that point. Her fucking back scratcher was flying through the air for a second trip. "You're going to wish you never heard of a motorcycle when I finish with you." I flinched and it landed on my thigh stinging like a hell convention at a needle factory.
