Well I'd agree that's logical - but therein lies the problem. Ideally you wouldn't have two different standards of logic in one marriage....

So far at least my marriage has remained continuous and unbroken for the best part of 30 years, so perhaps we've found a middle way that works.

I bought a Bridgeport a few years ago when we were living in Canada (it followed me back to the UK of course). My wife had to walk past it each day to get through the garage to her car. Finally, after a year or so she asked me when I'd bought it, as if she'd not seen it before. She has absolutely no idea what a machine tool is for or even why anyone would want one.
