Dang Boy, you Yoopers are sure tight! Here she suggested the place, the time, and urged you to go and try. Now here you are more than just successful, with complete bragging rights, and what does she get? Time in the kitchen, cookin!
A nice quiet dinner, with just the two of you, a nice bottle of wine, two steaks, and two lobsters, with melted garlic butter, a very nice way to say, thanks for getting your sorry butt out of bed, and getting one of the Big boys, and actually not only telling you "where" to hunt, but urging you to do so!
Now how many wives would do that ?!!!
Oh, no, You couldn't just say, hey, thanks for helping me to get that big ol boy, I would like to show you how much I appreciate it, by taking you out to our favorite restaurant, just the two of us, for steak, and lobster, and a bottle of wine. Nope! Not dis here Yooper, by golly fer sure. "Honey, look wot I dun brung ya!
Ok, I will skin it fer ya, but den you gotta cook it all up and so forth, ya know. I dun my part, I brung it home, now crank up da kitchen, all dis cold morning huntin has dun got me a hunger fired up now don'tchaknow !
Boy, you have a true rare gem there, and you polish it with bacon grease!
Well, I don't know how she puts up with you, but you must be doing something right. Just be careful, you might get a carrot wood knot on you , if you don't at least acknowledge her part in this.
She could be the kind who get all upset that you actually killed it, and not take pictures of it happily feeding in the forrest......and then you brought the body back, and you plan to keep the head? Eeeeew! Here read this pamphlet I just got from peta, telling how hunting is a mental illness, and how I can help you over come it! Eeeeew, there's blood on your hand!
Don't touch me! You can sleep on the couch tonight! And don't even think that you are going to put any of that meat in MY freezer! See Mike,you could have one of those......
Well My vote is for you to take the Wife out for a nice romantic dinner, just the two of you. It could even be in another town that has a restaurant.
And it doesn't have to be steak and lobster, whatever her favorite meal is that she doesn't have to cook, and clean up after. Anyone else thinks Mike should say thanks to his Wife by taking her out for a nice intimate meal, just the two of them?
