The Married Life: After the Anniversary
As you know, Blair and I celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary last week. Even though it was just another night at home, I made sure I looked nice - hair and makeup done, flattering clothes, light perfume... that sort of thing.
The next day I was busy running errands, cleaning house, and exercising. I don't think I ever got around to showering and so when Blair got home I looked less than glamorous - wild hair, no makeup, bags under the eyes, stained clothing.
"Well..." said Blair, surveying me.
"Sorry, my warranty expired at 15 years," I said. "This is what you get from now on."
I offered to sell him an extended warranty but he declined and made some reference to old clunkers often holding together for years.
Ha! Funny, funny man...

He IS funny, I continue to be a fan of Blair's.
You're funny too, of course. You described the bargain Bob gets just about every day of the year, right down to the bags under the eyes and coffee-stained clothes. It's been 22 years; Bob probably forgot to check the warranty.
