Default Anniversary gift?????

Mine and the wife's 7th anniversary is coming up in a fee weeks and I have no idea what to get her. Usually we go for supper and get a night in a hotel without the kids but I want to surprise her. Any ideas?

A nice weekend out of town.
Send the kids to the sitter and whisk her away.

Had a client last night that told me about the new shotty he gave his wife for their anniversary. Sounded real nice. Of course, if I did that my wife would think I was nothin but selfish!

Fred found that Wilma always appreciated a new bowing ball.

Default 7 year itch?

50 shades of gray?
Apparently it's the gift that keeps on giving. Not that I've attempted this-never had to.
You could spice the night up and just book an hour or two at the Motel.

You want to surprise her?

Get three buddies to dress in black, complete with balaclavas.
Rent a van with a side sliding door. Some eastern Arabic music should be playing on the stereo.
Get your buddies to kidnap her at work. They have to put a loose fitting cloth hood over her head as they drive her out of town to a remote campsite. ......

where you are waiting with a nice supper in an outfitters tent!


Ps. I hope she appreciates the effort and risk. Mine didnt

You can't honestly be surprised that she didn't appreciate it.

Try being handcuffed and dragged out on some "fake charge" to be taken away for a weekend....... I was equally unimpressed !

Ok, I know I am blowing my own horn here.. But stay with me.

The best time I have ever had with my wife was when just here and I go Salmon fishing. I know it's a bit self serving but it's by far and away our best little trip together through all these years.

In fact I (and her) miss it due to the fact we now own a Lodge. Those were some very special trips with lots of memories.

We would get to Vancouver a day early, rent a car, stay at a nice hotel and then head out Salmon fishing for 4 days someplace on the coast.

Bring her out to the Lodge and I will come up with a real nice package for you guys.

Jamie

My wife clued in when the guys were playing eastern colloquial Arabic music, but they spoke with a Moroccan dialect. She spent a few years with the CIA in Lebanon. ....she knows dialect.

Leave it to Amash and Mohan to screw it up. You'd think that two Egyptians could pull it off. Man, those two seriously underestimated my wife.

Eastern colloquial Arabic music while speaking with a Moroccan dialect? Really?! Are you serious! How dumb could two Egyptians be?

Next time, Ill use Somalians.
