Be careful about trying to trick the Mrs.

[Winger Ed.]

A youtube video popped up in my feed of them the other day.

It was a cctv at the counter in a gun store. A lady came in and put two cases on the counter.
She said her husband had bought them and some other guns as an investment,
and now she needed to sell them.

The first was a tricked out AR. She said her husband told her he'd paid $300. for it and she hoped to get $200.
The store guy said, "No problem".

Then she opened a pistol case and laid out a real hot rod, race gun, semi-auto.
She said her husband told her he'd paid $200. for it, and she was hoping to get about $100.

The gun store guy looked at it and said, "Ma'am,,,, that's a $1200. pistol".

She thought about it a few seconds and said,,,, "I'm going to kill him".

A friend of a friend was a Dallas Police Officer.
He kept the stash of his 'hide out money' rolled up and put inside the barrel of his service revolver.
In about 15 years of duty on the force, he'd never even drawn his weapon,,,,,,, until that one night....

Ages ago we were pretty tight for money. I gave the wife my check every week after keep $40 or $50 for incidental expenses. The following Friday I’d put any money I had left over into an inside pocket of a new flame retardant red jacket that was decorated with American flags and such to commemorate an annual fundraiser event. The money came in handy twice a year because the wife’s birthday was in December.
One Friday evening I went to put three tens into the pocket and the jacket was gone. The wife played dumb for a while before admitting she needed one one item to take to the consignment store in town. Seeing I never wore the jacket she took it to the store.
Of course she didn’t check the pockets. I went to the store the next morning and there it was, minus the money and the manager said they hadn’t found it.
Christmas that year was disappointing for the wife.

A co-worker claimed if you put your wallet under a pair of brown stained underwear, your wife would never touch it.

One of my great aunts lived in the country by herself after her husband died and kept some paper money in the left side of her double barrel shotgun (no shell chambered). Her son came home for Thanksgiving and grabbed the gun to go turkey hunting. He dropped two shells in the gun and saw some turkeys, so he let loose. It wasn't a huge amount of money by today's standards, but this was late 1960's and meant a lot to her. I recall he eventually paid her back and asked if the stash could be moved to the pie safe...

My Grandfather told a story by one of his friends who had bought a used pair of shoes at a thrift store.
Inside it, way at the front was a $50.oo bill tightly folded up. Back in the late 1950s --- that was a lot of money.

Every spring as I put away the Fall and Winter coats into storage; I go through the pockets of my Wife's coats, sweaters, etc.. Usually find enough to pay for a nice evening out with her. She shoves it into a pocket when she gets change and forgets about it.

I saw that video.

So the woman declared to the store owner that she wanted to sell a pair of firearms that weren't hers.....

Interesting.

It's another case of 'make your best deal':
Some wives believe all her stuff is hers. And all the husbands stuff is hers too.

My thinking was how does the gun store go about even making an offer on stuff like that?

Divorce proceedings? Sister? Stolen goods?

Not a can of worms I'd care to open.

Obviously it's YouTube and likely just 'click bait' anyway. Just thinking aloud.

Going through my grandmother’s estate there was money secreted everywhere. In books, under lamps, on shelves, folded in linens and clothes, and my favorite, wrapped and put in the holes of thread spools in her sewing chest.

You couldn’t throw away anything until you tore it apart.

My Mom's house/estate was like that.
Jewelry and cash was in coat pockets, in between towels, in the pages of books.

We had to go through the house like they would with a search warrant.

I still keep a fund in my King James, one to a page in the Minor Prophets.
My wife is an ESV reader, says KJV is too hard.
She has a Trump million dollar bill for a bookmark in her ESV, maybe will be the new currency soon.

Not the brightest shotgunner in the world, I take it.

Some wives would throw out the whole drawer.

A friend had his boat shrink wrapped & left money for the guy in his outdoor gas grill. Well the guy never removed the money & my buddy ate a very expensive burger that night.

Having a bum leg -- I needed but one cane, then -- I went to an auction. There was a bevy of stuffed chairs along the back wall, and I took a seat. About ten to fifteen minutes after the sale began the auctioneer pointed to me, and quite loudly voiced to the 100 or so people there "the nerve" I had to just sit in the chair as if I owned it. He added that, in a bit all in that entire row would be auctioned and if I found the chair I was in comfortable, to bid on it.
I was a tad (a tad?) embarrassed... BUT, with my bum leg I needed use my arms to get out of the chair and lo and behold, to the right of the cushion, waaaay down, was a rubber-banded roll of U S money!
An ethical question came to my mind which was overshadowed by "karma ". It was an even one hundred dollars!

The only "hidden" money I ever found was a pair of$2 bills in a library book.
