There's an elephant in the room...

[watton_earth]

...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.

Hasn't the wife told you to get that 'bloody box' out of the hall yet?

[JapanAxe]

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.

Aha! - Family Subterfuge.

Clever ploy to get the elephant to stand in front of the box, she'll never spot it.

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...

Did you buy the bass for a Bon Jovi tribute band?

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...

she's already taken the bass and flogged it. You've been duped!

[lojo]

Perhaps you put the bass next to a designer handbag which you failed to spot

Following the leads above, you will return home to find the box missing. When you ask your wife, you be told either that it has been sold or donated to a charity shop.

I find it a good trick to ensure that I regularly 'forget' to put things away after me .
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

hmm, great idea but as pointed out this could both ways
