Clean Out the Garage, Or Else!

You know it isn't too smart to ask what the (or else) is before you make a decision. Somehow this simple request for information to be used in making a decision can be mis-construed as a unwillingness to do the requested task. It seems as if you really do not have a choice when the (or else) clause is pronounced. To avoid any misunderstanding, when the (or else) clause is pronounced by your wife you should always be answer by saying the (Yes Dear) clause as sincerely as possible. Although this commits you to do the task, no time frame has been dicussed and possibly, if you are really good, you can delay doing it for a few more weeks. "Oh you ment this year". At least you have a shot.
