Hey, you've seen my work!

I'm assuming that mine is identical to yours. If so then, yes, I've seen it.

The really bad thing is that my wife is addicted to these home improvement shows, and assumes that I'm just as skilled as the pros who show us just how easy it is to lay a basement floor, build a deck or install a driveway. Of course she isn't about to do any of these things, so in order to keep her notion of my manhood intact I've got to make at least an effort, which usually ends up looking like something the Three Stooges did and costing twice as much as if we'd hired a pro to do the job.

De-program all channels except The Food Network from the TV she watches.

I'll tell you how you can get even with her.

Start taking an interest in all those cooking shows and then tell your wife that it would be really neat if we could start having some of these "easy-to-make" dishes at home.
