The SILENT Treatment

My bride says to me in a sing song kind of way,
"Who is Frank"
I look at her in bewilderment, Idonknow, I answer.
Bride says to me, "Well he called, and said he would like to come by on Friday, and he is going to, he said, talk to you about picking IT up." Oh? I said, acting stupid, palms starting to sweat, "It? I ask.
She says, "when I asked him about it, he said that he has to get IT out of there, and he wanted to know what you would give for IT, what's IT?"
Look, baby, I'm not going to lie to you, he has a 1978 MGB, and I wanted the wheels for one of my cars, the price is not agreed upon, but I think I can get it for alot less than I would pay for the wheels,and, Look honey, I even get the whole car, for parts, you know,and besides, he is loosing the house, he has to get IT out of there this weekend.
She says, "look out back, do you see that?, and out front, what do you see?"
So I told her, I see a nice green manicured lawn, and room enough for 1 more MGB in the driveway. That was at noon today.
She has not spoke to me since.
Gosh, am I enjoying the peace and quiet.

My line is "I am going out to look at some MG parts". Sometimes I come back with a "car full" of parts :smile:

I did the same on Saturday. I went to look at some car parts and brought home the entire car. I am currently painting the hall way in the house as punishment. Bathroom cabinets, countertop and sink next, followed by walkout basement paneling and brick fireplace paint.

Being the engineer.. I have been able to but off this probjet with the statement that paneling and brick rarely need paint.

See Texas car in Michigan post if you need a good 1979 MGB body.

Would you blame me.. 2 miles from my house, Craigslist MGB with NEW PECO Header and Exhaust, Webber Carb and OD Trans. 2 Engines and spare trans.

The color we chose for the hall 2 years ago was too dark accoring to the wife. Good thing I had spare gallon of white.. Brown is now tan and everybody is happy.
