The enduring love of a surveyors wife

The other night we had one of those not uncommon moments when it could've turned one way or the other.
As usual I was mumbling about something I couldn't find and did she know where it might be?
I was rather taken back, not by the fact my lovely wife was quick as a flash out with the location, but the wry grin on her face as she drew breath......
Here we go again, I thought, put my foot right into this, it's late and all I wanted to know was where did I put my scarf. (it'd turned cold with wind straight off the Antarctic and thought such an adornment might benefit)

Well! Lovely wife suggested if she made me a Fairisle scarf with "This is a survey peg" knitted into the pattern I could always find it.
Somehow there's a fair amount of truth in that statement.
I'm not poetic but if I could I'd write an Ode to A Surveyors Wife.
I'm sure many here can relate to this.

Oh, now that could be dangerous, depending on the design. I'm picturing a long neck scarf with one end coming over the front side of the shoulder and stopping near belt level. Below the words "This is a survey peg" should be an arrow pointing towards the belt line (or lower).;);)

Offer her that suggestion and see what happens.

I know I can, I've been married to SWMBO for 48 years and that "but the wry grin on her face as she drew breath......" means "how can you be such a stupid ass."
To avoid that problem something like this may help.

Right.
Loud laughs. That's Rude. More laughs. Sounds like a permanent form of contraception. (she knows the treatment pegs get with sledgehammer, plus they get tacks driven in top)

I'm thinking I'll stay clear.
I like [USER=379]@FL/GA PLS.[/USER] idea. Better option.
