2000
Wife: I hate this car – it’s old.
Wife: We could get a minivan.
Wife: Here’s a minivan with built in booster seats so Kid # 2 doesn’t inconvenience us with moving the booster from one car to the other. It’s only $10,000 more than the base model and only $15,000 more than a year old used one.
Car Salesman: You can lease it for three years @ $479 a month!
Wife: Yay!
Me: *maybe I’ll get laid out of this*
2002
Wife: I hate minivans. I want a jeep!
Car Salesman: You can have this Jeep Liberty with almost no options, not even 4WD and save $80/mo. to say you drive a Jeep with less utility than that van!
Wife: Yay!
Me: *maybethis time I’ll get laid out of this*
Wife: *of course he will! (Just not in the literal sense, except for once, three years from now)
Nothing else to say, really.
