My mother always told me that "Nothing is easy," meaning whatever you try to do there's going to be a problem in one way or another. I've found this to be true 9 times out of 10.
My father's advice: "Never draw to an inside straight." Cant't tell if he was right. I don't play poker.
My brother's cynical advice: "Screw them all except six, and save those for pall-bearers." I'm taking no chances he might have been right. I plan to be cremated.
My advice: When, in response to something you've said or done, your wife says emphatically, "Fine," you can be completely certain that absolutely nothing is fine, so run, duck, or apologize.
