**Might offend** my wifes reaction to the news of my recent order

I hope you explained to her that it's a bit like buying a nice expensive watch, and then still want to get that Rolex.

Buying Gucci shoes and upgrading to Manolo Blahniks.

Upgrading your handbag. To the newest hottest model.

For women we don't do it so the opposite sex will look at us, but to make all other females envious.

A friend's husband recently went on a short (less than 1 week) business trip to North Carolina. Upon his return, and much to his wife's amazement, he announced he'd bought a house. Mind you, they currently live in Washington (state, not DC), had just put a bunch of $$$ into remodeling their house, and, as far as the wife was concerned, had no plans of relocating.

Luckily for him, and their continued union, the purchase was contingent to inspection, and the house apparently failed inspection with flying colors.

After hearing this, my wife quickly turned to me and said I could buy any lens I wanted to without worry. If I bought a house without telling her, I'd be in trouble.

Isn't it nice to have friends to measure up against?

30D is a penis thing...

I should try that sometime in a photostore:

"Show me your latest penis thing please"

Ah, I came home last week and said, "hey, guess what I got?"

Then promptly whipped out the... 1D2N.

Zacker:
When I bought my 500, not only my wife, but her friends as well were asking me if it was a penis thing. I as well gave them a simple yes answer, and that shut there friggin pie holes for them. Catch them off balance and they will become confused and disoriented. Don't push it again though by buying another expensive photography toy b/c you may become the next Wayne Bobbitt in the news. Just a fellow brother trying to protect another......

"No, Honey. But the new Harley Davidson in the garage is...."
