A Season to Get Bonked on the Head By Your Angry Spouse
‘Tis the season for those campy ads where one spouse surprises the other with a mega-buck luxury car in the driveway adorned with a big red bow. It’s campy, but come on, guys. Who in the world ever received a car with a big old piece of satin wrapping around the hood?
Realistically, if you’re going to plunk down a cool 60K for someone else’s car, don’t you want to consult that other party? I mean what if you pulled up in the driveway and he says to you, “Silver? I wanted red!” Damn. Sixty big ones down the drain.
Seriously, who buys a diamond – or any luxury item – without consulting the other half? These are just not spur of the moment decisions in normal America. It’s a bit of a lame fantasy. And, quite frankly, it should really have a warning: “Don’t try this at home!”
