About the Book

In the planning stages I thought of making this book funny but as the writing continued I realized that to forget a Birthday or Anniversary will create a serious problem! Another problem which has been studied could be that in a moment of weakness you BUY a RACE HORSE. With these and other problems in mind, I combined excuses with situations and injected a lighthearted touch with realistic solutions.

A list of reasons, responses and excuses to the following questions that a wife will always ask: "Why?" "How are you going to pay for that?" "Where are you going to put it?" "What do we need that for?" "Whose stupid idea was that?" And last but not least "You forgot!" are all in this book.

Remember, a lot of grief is self made, so make sure to plan carefully, don't lie and definitely don't brag, especially if it will become PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE. A few exaggerations are possible but one of the greatest problems that the male species has, is his inability to remember precisely what was said and under what circumstances.

But your wife has total and perfect recall.

About the Author

At the time of writing I was 70 years old with a wealth of experience behind me. Knowing that life can be a bit of a B&^%h, I decided that my LEGACY would be this guide, consisting of the "faux pas" that I experienced. This guide made available to the younger generation, will provide proof positive that they were not the first to step into a bucket of-------.

During my time I have enjoyed life, met a lot of nice people that I can and do consider friends.

Because this Guide was not available, I was lucky and I learned, at an early age to dance on my feet!
