Cancel the Magazine Rack

My wife’s logic is hard to argue with. Once, while we were shopping, I asked if we could buy a magazine rack. (Yes – sometimes we married men must ask our wives for permission to spend our own money.)

I argued, “That way we won’t have them laying all around the house.”

She simple said, “No.”

I asked, “Why?”

She politely smiled, “Because we’d never get rid of them and we’d end up with more clutter,” adding, “Instead, how about we cancel all the different magazine subscriptions we have.”

She calmly turned and continued shopping.

Damn it! Cornered by my own argument.
