Good work Greenman! And in recognition of your stupidity, and as a big "thank you" for your apparant enthusiasm for sharing your embarrasing ####-ups with us, I'm going to award another Fonz.
There is an element of reluctance on my part, because rather than feed your significant other with one of our member's beautifully crafted ####-and-bull stories, you came clean! What were you thinking about? Never let the truth get in the way of a good story, and the more elaborate the better.
Personally, I'd have kept completely schtum, and then convinced a friend at the local newspaper to run a story about a local eccentric who'd bred a strain of racing bees, capable of reaching speeds in excess of mach 2.
Then you could have done the old "Hmmm, maybe that's what happened to your blouse my dear; you must have hung it in the way of one of their training routes..."
Bingo!
