“Damn! I’m supposed to paint my fence on that day. Talk about a bummer ;p”
Just tell your wife that you’re not going to do it. When she asks why, tell her “this is the ‘planet crashing into the Earth’ exception” which allows you to postpone any and all work. Also, it allows you to get drunk off your butt and not go to work that day. Finally, it allows you to also call 1-800-BIG-JUGS and have a “date” with one of their college girls.
Yeah, I know - my wife won’t buy it, either. Go paint your fence. :>)
