Have you stretched your credulity lately?
Great news; I won $500,000 on the lottery the other week. I didn't tell the wife, because she's busy and could do without the excitement.
The good part is, it meant we could pay off the mortgage on our new house, even though we only took the loan out a couple of weeks ago, so I just shoved the forms in front of her and said she didn't need to bother her pretty little head about reading them. Like I said, she's busy, and anyway she's a lawyer, and once they start reading the small print who knows where it will end?
She probably did wonder where all the money came from, but hey, you know the IT industry... big bucks all around. Anyway, we're a married couple, so who's going to bring up that kind of trivia over the tea and biscuits?
Actually, I have to confess, none of this is true --- I made it up to see how far you would read before getting the distinct impression that I was insulting your intelligence. I mean, who would make this kind of stuff up?
