Hank, take time out, in the corner, five minutes. If you can't read your watch, count to 300. I'd say count slowly if I thought you were capable of working quickly with such big complicated numbers.

It seems like a rather silly thing to discuss for longer than two minutes, unless there are all sorts of other underlying trust issues.

Given how much you're bothered by this, however, this sounds like the type of thing that you're going to dwell on and then strike him with maybe two or three months down the line in some unrelated argument. So it needs to be resolved for both of you sooner rather than later.

Use the words "disappointed" and "betrayed my trust" and pout a little until he feigns looking bad and offers to take you out to dinner. Make sure he's squriming like the lying sneaky pig that he is. Use tears if he doesn't look like he's suffering, because, hey, he renewed a subscription. Suggest that you're going to withhold sex, because you're so distraught over the whole thing. Tell him how all your girlfriends think he's an awful terrible person and aren't you being nice for talking this thing through instead of leaving, like they suggested.

Then the issue is resolved and he can sneak porn on the side and you can be blissfully unaware of its existence. Oh, and the totally awesome Ceaser salad dressing that came out of that rag maybe 15 years ago. I still use it every week or so.

This reminded of Ask President Carter, an SNL skit with Dan Akroyd as Carter and Bill Murray as Walter Cronkite:

Walter Cronkite: Do you have a question for the President?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. I, uh.. I took some acid.. I'm afraid to leave my apartment, and I can't wear any clothes.. and the ceiling is dripping, and uh.. I, uh..

Walter Cronkite: Well, thank you very much for calling, sir..

President Jimmy Carter: Just a minute, Walter, this guy's in trouble. I think I better try to talk him down. Peter?

Peter (on phone): Yeah..?

President Jimmy Carter: Peter, what did the acid look like?

Peter (on phone): They were these little orange pills.

President Jimmy Carter: Were they barrel shaped?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. yes.

President Jimmy Carter: Okay, right, you did some orange sunshine, Peter.

Peter (on phone): Very good of you to know that, sir.

President Jimmy Carter: How long ago did you take it, Peter?

Peter (on phone): Uh.. I don't know. I can't read my watch.

President Jimmy Carter: Alright, Peter, just listen. Everything is going to be fine. You're very high right now. You will probably be that way for about five more hours. Try taking some vitamin B complex, vitamin C complex.. if you have a beer, go ahead and drink it..

Peter (on phone): Okay..

President Jimmy Carter: Just remember you're a living organism on this planet, and you're very safe. You've just taken a heavy drug. Relax, stay inside and listen to some music, Okay? Do you have any Allman Brothers?

It is easier to get a man to give you things if you please him rather than neuter him...

Better yet, you have a job, Sunny. Buy your own fucking car.

Why do people always say "Well, I'll get (this or that) out of my spouse" when both spouses work?

You have the cash to buy a car, so buy it. What does your husband have to do with it?

My wife wants a really nice ride. I always say "waste of money", but if she brings one home, what am I going to do? Tell her to take it back? My vote doesn't override hers.

Perhaps we should give the cats a vote - they can act as tie breakers. But what if they split down the middle.

I need to get a dog.

It wasn't a demand. I think that's my point. I was pissed off about something else. We had a fight. He said, "I can't do [X] but as a whole, I think I need to be more respectful of you. There are lots of other things I can do, such as [y, z...] and stop leaving the Playboy out on the coffee table for when your friends come over and as a matter of fact, I won't even renew my subscription." TO which I proptly said, "great, it's a deal" and I've put up with [X], and other things holding up my end of the bargain. Truth be told if he had come to me and said "what was I thinking, I'd like to renew my subscription, and that was a stupid thing for me to say" it would have been find. I probably would ahve milked him to take me out to dinner or something. It was the fact that he lied about it.

1) Are you sure you want to be in a relationship with a guy who would put Playboy on his coffeetable? I just hope it doesnt cover up the NASCAR Roundup Newsletter. As I am sure Atticus would confirm, that shit belongs in the bathroom.

2) You are a Orwellian, First Amendment usurping control freak. If you dont stop thrusting your very narrow and 1950s morals on others, you will be a card carrying member of the spinsterhood. or the wife of a cheating husband.

Do most women do this? I must have missed the blackmail part of finishing school.

OK, why I'm asking you guys for relationship advice, God only knows ecept that I ain't gonna ask my momma this one, but here goes:

Mr. Bunny promised (this was his offer--not a "yes" at gunpoint, but as a peace offering in another fight) to not renew his subscription to Playboy. I just found out that he recently renewed it anyway...when asked about it, he said "I didn't think you really cared."

Should I be really ticked off? What's a sufficient punishment? I'm not mad about the Playboys so much as the treachery.

The Displaced Dog's vote wasn't guaranteed to match up with mine on a lot of key issues, and we're both now living under the total dictatorship of the puppy.

Wrong. If you just start dating someone adn you do something awesome in bed, he'll be impressed and ecstatic, only until he comes. Then he'll want to watch television.

After years of dating, there isn't much you can do in bed which will be new, and after the orgasms, he'll still just want to watch televsion.

No man ever comes and says "My God, I must do something spectacular for you!!!" If we take you out to a great dinner its because food is a greate chaser for sex.

If you hold back sex as an incentive at any point, a smart man will just jerk off more frequently to remove the bargaining chip from the equation.

The only leverage you really have is nagging.

The writing in Playboy used to be highly respected, by men and women and literari. It's still probably better than the crap in Details or Esquire. I can see Hustler and NASCAR Round Up together, but not Playboy.

I already sent a memo to Lola, the shoot stylist (whose job is way easy since pubes have gone the way of the dodo). she is from Greenwich and I assure you is a classy lady.
