Neil,

there is no need for excuses. As you know, the best defense is offense.
Here is a list of responses that should put the matter to rest permanently:


1. It was a moment of weakness. May I take you out to dinner?

2. I am trying to do my part in helping the economy.

3. I bought it to test all the others.

4. Honey, I bought it to take better photos of you.

5. The LUG made me do it.

6. The others are like mistresses, I do not use them any more.

7. For crying out loud, do I complain when you buy groceries and clothes for
the kids?

8. Sweetheart, I bought it so you may have something to complain about.

9. Jim Brick has one.

10. Your own 30 pairs of shoes were perfectly fine also, still you bought
one more. And I don't accuse you of being a co-conspirator of Imelda Marcos.
