Aint that the truth. Wives do come in handy at times. I was a single parent
for many years. And you know, what I learned from that experience, never
clean the kitchen floor. Dirt soaks up spilled grape juice like a sponge. If
grape juice makes the floor sticky, the floor isn’t dirty enough.
I used to have a Fujitzu scanner that could drink beer by the gallon. I now
use a wireless keyboard and an extender cable for my headphones. When I
spill something, I just stand around and look helpless. When the helpless
routine doesn’t work, it’s time to give Sue a little more attention.

After my wine spill, my wife issued me what we used to call a "tippy tom".
It is a cup with two handles, a large base and a lid with a small slit
opening. They are used for children in the highchair age.
