Because, as I've found, its cheaper to gallivant across the country when you are paying for one.

"I operate on the same theory as the guy who likes to trade in the current model for the new one when the ashtrays get full" might also work.
Good excuse. And it sounds better than the truth. "No woman will have you"

I think the current model will be around for a while, or until I find some way to really screw up.

Actually she has nearly perfect vision.

I got it. You have an inmate pen pal. She is not going anywhere because the state of Ohio will not allow her to.

For stupid questions, I love, "Why exactly do you want to know?"

East Texas Parrothead · August 18, 2005 6:56 pm

My grandmother, bless her, had an answer for that kind of intrusive question....

She'd say in her sweetest belle voice:

"When God tells me why he lets you live, I'll tell you why we got married, etc.."

Shut 'em up every time.

I like ETP's grandmother's response better than mine!

THAT is an excellent response. It puts them on the defense, and I can't even imagine what the rude dummies would answer to that.

My wife and I have both been married before. Neither of us have children. We just don't know if we will or not yet. Right now we don't want to give up OUR freedom!

Sorry, someone had to say it.... J/K

Sy, I would say "To formalize our lifelong committment to each other. What are you saying, that YOU only got married because you were having children??? I'm sorry you don't feel as committed to your spouse as I do (to mine)!"
