Having four dogs taxes the amount of usable pasture in the backyard. To keep things tidy one of my weekly yard chores (three times a week) is "poop patrol". And for a year or two I was happy to tend to this with and old D-handled flat blade shovel and a small rake. But the missus thought she'd be nice and picked me up a real store-bought poop scooper. Made of HDPE and complete with a little rake and detachable handle, it works great. It's got a little "dust pan" on trunions and keeps me from bending over too much. I like it, but it has gotten a bit soiled over the summer and was in need of a good scrubbing.
So rather than dirty my little mitts with such a deadly chore, I needed something that would clean it up real nice and I wouldn't have to touch it...something automatic. I needed hot water too and the car wash seemed like overkill...I finally realized I had the perfect appliance in the kitchen for such a chore, the automatic dishwasher. I've put some really grimy and disgusting things in there before and they always come out really, really spotless.
My only mistake was not getting it out of the dishwasher before my wife found it.
Why women are so possessive of their appliances is beyond me. I mean, I paid for the damned thing anyway....;)
Anywhere in particular Mrs. Cash would like charitable contributions directed subsequent your impending demise? 😉

I'm good. I don't even need back in the house for a while. I've got some good camping gear here in the garage....

Have you got a preacher picked for the upcomming funeral?
(still cracking up!)
Say, since it looks like you're getting a new dishwasher for Christmas can I have your old one I got lots of grimy things they've washed down here! haha
Paden, I recently did something similar, but was smart enough to hide any evidence before my wife came home. I found a
plastic mixer bowl cover that was just the right size for a 10" saw blade that needed cleaning. The blade was cleaned and the
cover washed and put away before she arrived home.
Hope you learned your lesson;)
WRONG WRONG WRONG.
The proper way to play this hand and get all the bonus points would be.
Go to the car wash spend $2.25 on cleaning it up, drive home. ~ thank her again for buying it for you, show it to her all nice and clean and explain how you cleaned it and how you HAD BRIEFLY entertained the dishwasher idea but didn't out of deference to her.... collect big dividends.
As an aside ~ the next time I pull a bone-headed stunt, I'll say, "Well, it could be worse."
She'll say, "How?"
I'll say, "I know about a guy that washed his dog pooper-scooper in the dishwasher !"

Sounds like you're about to do that again...

Well as long as you have a few cans of Spam, 12 cases of beer and a bag of weed you should be OK for a spell. (women will usually calm down and forgive you after they remember how stupid men are) 😉

I appreciate the thought, but I'm not thirty anymore. That much Spam might send me to the ER...but the back doors of the ambulance would probably have to be open.
And I still can't understand why women get mad when we do "guy" things. We're so predictable, they should expect us to do stupid things.
But I'm one step ahead of her...when she tries to make me wash the dishes by hand...I'm putting them all in a laundry basket and taking them to the car wash!

Thank you for the response, however, let me reiterate:

It looks like you picked a hell of a time to screw up. National Get-Out-Of-The-Doghouse day isn't until the17th of July 2017, which by my calculations, means a long cold winter outdoors. :smarty:

Mr. Cash, I have done some real Stupid crud (ask any of me ex wives) but this really takes the cake.
good luck
Mr. Payden,
I read that to my gal.
BEFORE we got to the dishwasher part...
She interrupted me...( felt it was rude, to steal the punch line!) ... She KNEW dishwasher!
Them women just know stuff...
If you were ready to be single again, you could have said that it was not that much different than what she puts in there after a meal.

That's the ticket, a recipe for social disaster. 😉

Like any of them (happily single here) would have the power to actually stop SWMBO from doing exactly what she wants......

I beg to differ. Compared to Paden, me rebuilding a carburetor on the kitchen table ain't nothing. 🙂

Might as well take the pooper-scooper and wash everything on the same quarters....including the truck. You'll be saving money (especially since you can't fit the truck in the dishwasher anyway).
