I will deny, to the last breath in my body, that my rationale is
spurious, that I'm being self-indulgent, and that I have a wife,
sceptical or otherwise.

For most unmarried men, the bank manager performs a similar function
when it comes to quashing fond dreams with the icy blast of stern
disapproval, backed by desolate financial reality.

I have sedulously avoided such legal
complications, preferring my relationships to
be of a more informal (and non-legally-binding) nature ;-)

I should give an honourable mention to my brother at this point, whose
valiant attempt to infiltrate a new, ridiculously over-spec PC into
his house after a subtle re-badging of the casing with the label for
an entry-level workstation so narrowly failed to escape the eternal
vigilance of the domestic management.
