    So you're getting her a better sleeping bag right? You've told her this haven't you.

    Some other things that will send a husband to the underworld:

    ...Making ANY change to the settings on the thread injector.
    ...refering to the sewing machine as "the thread injector."
    ...using the washing machine to dye mule tape black.
    ...running a load of whites after you have used the washing machine to dye mule tape black.
    ...joking about using the bathtub to dye mule tape black.
    ...actually using the bathtub for aforementioned purpose the next day.
    ...using the special scissors to cut tyvek.
    ...continuing to call the sewing machine a "thread injector."
    ...disappearing into the garage for "hours on end" to make hammocks or tarps or alcohol stoves or modified Wally-world blue ccf pads or hammock stands or bushbuddy stoves or whoopie slings or tarp tie-outs and etc.
    ...disappearing into the backyard for "hours on end" everytime the weather is nice for the sole purpose of setting up gear and tweaking the setup.
    ...disappearing into the backyard for "hours on end" eveytime the weather is bad for the sole purpose of setting up gear in windy/rainy/lightning-y/hail-y/dark-y conditions.
    ...not putting the children to bed because you are too busy posting on hammock forums.
    ...posting about not putting the children to bed after the third "suggestion" that you should be putting the children to bed.
    ...not putting the children to bed immediately after the Missus goes to the kitchen to grab a meat cleaver so that she can, one last time, "discuss" putting the children to bed...

    Oops! The cleaver means the Missus means business. See you in the undiscovere'd country.

    I'll add one more to timabababaluka's list...using her good scissors to cut Amsteel Blue. I only did that once and will never do it again

    Remember, making a man sleep on the couch, isn't too much of a punishment. It's like camping.
