    Did I screw up?

    Yesterday, I was looking for a pen. I knew there was one close by. My wife asked me what I was looking for. I told her. She then picked up the pen which was right in front of me. She turned to me and asked "What would you do if I suddenly died tomorrow?" I told her I'd go find a good looking 20 year old chick.

      Hey, I'm an old man. I might not have that kind of time!

        I'm pretty sure she knew you were joking. But just in case I'd get a food taster. And have somebody check your bed. And get a bomb-sniffing dog for your car. Just in case.

          You definitely had a senior moment of the worst kind - the kind that will put an end to all senior moments.

              Things must have slowed down in Indiana. Anyway, you should apologize to her.

                  Reminds me of a conversation my wonderful gf and I had a couple of months ago around my birthday. I told her that since I was not planning on living much past 60 I should get started on my midlife crisis now so I was going to get a Porsche and a 19 year old girlfriend. She politely informed me that I could have the Porsche but if I got the 19 year old I should have started my midlife crisis long ago because she was going to kill me.

                    If you couldn't find the pen, what makes her think you could find a 20 year old chick?

                        A thinking man might have said, "I guess I'd have to buy some bright colored pens."

                        Thinking men land in the dog house just about as quickly though.

                          There's really no good answer to that question. Anything you say will land you in the doghouse!!

                            These guys are all giving the wrong advise. Since you are already in the dog house, you might as well start the search now.

                            For twenty year old girls that like OLDER men, try the local library....
