Whats The Best Excuse You've Used

[Josiah]

I always use the excuse "But it gives everybody something to look at"

With 18 some odd tanks running ATM I have this one down. Too many tanks, with a couple more sitting around empty you say? It's a midlife crisis thing, your right, I should get rid of most of them. Get a Harley instead, or a nice '69 Camaro.

Then I start rambling on about the small block Chevy, all the guys at work with their drag strip cars, dropping 10g's on engine work, and so forth.

They are all glad I have all the tanks, because they know I will do it.

I found buying him an X-Box 360 worked very well in making him come to the decision we really needed a big royal plec...

now if i could afford a wii that could work!!

honey, if your husband is on the forum and he still says "no more tanks", then you ain't gonna get more tanks.

unless you can figure out a way to get him to build you a fishroom

but yeah i think that's it, i just have to accept i'm stuck with just 5 tanks at least for the next 18 months until we move

Move husband out. Result - plenty more space for tanks.

No ring on your finger = no chance of telling you what you cant have then

Aaah just get one, he'll sulk, they always do, but he's a bloke - he'll come round after a couple of days!

Mine does the BMC but what can he do ; I'm handeling the food After all if momma ain't happy ain't nobody happy.

this is a very amusing thread.... Maybe another way if your desperate just tie em up in a chair and feed them twice a day until he accepts the tank is going to stay and any other new tank will stay

That is genius, Make the tank seem like a better option. "Oh the bedroom needs a different look. maybe if you strip all the walls and re-paint and new carpet, or a little 15G tank, whichever" lol
