The mem'sahib has been going through the family financil accounts for the new year and has announced that I am an alchemist.
Apparently, I have a near-miraculous ability to turn gold into lead.

Ah mate, that's nothing special, I've been doing that for years.
ReplyDeleteThe time to worry is when she looks are your lead soldiers and sees how she can turn them into gold!
So we all have this power? That's three of us, enough for a support group.
ReplyDeleteFunny.

Dear Lurker
ReplyDeleteThe Civilian Authorities have no sense of humour when it comes to the military budget.
J
Just do what every government does: jigger the budget so that those military expenditures go from "luxury" to "necessity" and you're in like Flint.
ReplyDeleteDear Fred
ReplyDeleteIt's a thought but unfortunately I may have difficulty persuading my wife that a new army is a necessity. She wants to squander our money on fripparies like food and heating.
J
I wear the same shoes... I allways justify the next modell/army/stuff, when I say to the wife that I could spend the money in the pub. With the new modell/army/stuff I'll be home busy paintin'. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Iggy
ReplyDeleteNot sure the pub argument would hold water in my case. But worth a try.
J
Maybe you should do some graphs explaining that you spend much less on warhammer, unless you like to go to the pub. :)
ReplyDeleteI've seen you in a pub. Twice. If I were a reliable witness, that'd be evidence.
ReplyDeleteDear ZZZZ
ReplyDeleteShhh, I was only being sociable. :)
