watton_earth Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 ...actually theres a bass guitar sized box in the hall. I'm trying a new approach. I haven't touched it and my wife hasn't asked what's inside. If this works I'll call this Schrodingers bass theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bertbass Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 Hasn't the wife told you to get that 'bloody box' out of the hall yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 The bass is both there and not there at the same time. The Mrs has given you the benefit of the doubt by assuming it's not there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 Clever ploy to get the elephant to stand in front of the box, she'll never spot it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The box may not be there but as soon as you open it and a bass comes out I bet there will be hell to pay... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 (edited) She prolly just thinks it an old trunk... A scary thought - maybe your wife thinks you've [i]sold[/i] a bass and it's about to be posted... Edited May 9, 2014 by ahpook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 she's already taken the bass and flogged it. You've been duped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lojo Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Perhaps you put the bass next to a designer handbag which you failed to spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to find that the whinge about tidying up is much more preferable to the scarier arguments of getting rid of stuff I don't use all the time . At least the subconscious knows I am using kit , because it doesn't always sit in one spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconic Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 hmm, great idea but as pointed out this could both ways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
