brownie accumulation is one thing,actually getting a leave pass is totally different.Day the weather is right ,she who must disobeyed,will have a plan to stifle the best made plans.My advice is sneak out say nothing and cop it on the chin when one returns,does not hurt for long if you return with a bin full.

I once lectured in spousal disinformation and the perils of relationships in the bar at Swashies in Westhaven. 

One paper centered on the fact that "Brownie Points" have the shortest known half life of any known element or concept. Their decay rate is unparalleled in science, principally because of the storage area designated, the female mind.

Radioactive materials are contained in lead, surrounded by concrete and buried deep in disused mines etc.

Brownie points are held in a repository that is prone to instability. A bit like a crayfish, attached to great tail, but with a head full of muck. Unfortunately the data storage is in the later.

The result is, if you have a few brownie points, cash them immediately, as the assumption they can be redeemed later is deeply flawed.

you want unlimited brownie point?
easy as (I normally charge for this advise)

Every moment you get hand around your wife and ask her stupid questions about what your doing. Even when she goes to the toilet talk to her and wait outside the door. Give her no time to herself and it wont be long till shes begging you to go out and do your own thing.

This might explain why brownie points are not redeemable after more than a week. 😄

Fortunately my wife doesnt require an exchange of brownie points for me to be able to go fishing, she prefers Blue Cod, Terakihi, and Crayfish. 

If I can take a kid awesome, but she understands this lowers the return of desired fish. 

Recently she told me to buy a new rifle as the .223 was not quite enough gun for Red Deer, in return for purchasing me a Sauer 100 .308 she expects that I will purchase her a $190 bracelet for her birthday (3 days ago!!! Still no bracelet).

This saturday I am off to Milford with a few mates for some fishing/diving/hunting, due to the greater prevalence of her preferred Terakihi she only expects a couple of those make it home for sashimi dinner on Sunday night.

I'm not one to gloat (actually I am), but I believe you fellas who struggle with permissions from your wife might have screwed up in your selection process early on in the relationship ... TongueEvil Smile
