My wife R A T F L H A O

[Phil Spencer]

One on my domestic duties is to make the bed, this morning when I was changing the sheets, she spotted me with the tape measure out measuring the amount of sheet overhang each side (15.5 inches) what relay finished her off was when I got the bevel gauge out (it had been pre set to 45 deg with the digital angel thinghyI have) to get the angle of the hospital tuck at the end of the bed spot on.

She thinks that I go overboard, but I reckon that a job needs to be done right am I wrong?

Phil obviously the cold miserable weather of Vic has taken its toll time for some shed work extream to say the least

or

were you a Non-com PIA in the services that could explain heaps

[Kev Y.]

Phil, you either have to get out to the shed more often OR get HER to make the bed.

[Groggy]

Sounds perfectly fine to me, what's her problem?

I hope you put a tension gauge on it, nothing worse than a saggy spot.

[wolften]

tension gauge...saggy spot

...the visions that went through my head just then...

...measuring the saggy spot with a gauge

[tea lady]

Is it the only way you get to use your tools phil?

Might try the laser level

No

Yep with Rhonda's ill health don't get much shed time.

[Woodwould]

To what end perfection?

[echnidna]

Phil, get a permanent textile marker and put dotted lines in appropiate places so you don't have to mess around with the tape measure everytime.

I just line up the skid marks on the sheet with the skid marks on the mattress.

Sleeping bags the way to go?

Sleeping bags the way to go?

Did that when she was in hospital having the kids

[Phil Spencer]

We also have two teddy bears on the bed one a girl and the other a boy, when I make the bed I arrange these bears in what could be loosely described as a risqué pose. Well teddy bears apparently are not supposed to get up to naughty behaviour, both the bears and me get into trouble.

[Woodwould]

Right, you've stepped over the line this time and made everyone wince. Teddy bears on the bed? Teddy bears in the house?

Men are walking away from their puters in droves, shaking their heads.

[RETIRED]

Next you will be telling us that there are 20 assorted cushions that have to be arranged geometrically.
