Controller vs Wife

Controller: Wife:
- inexpensive (+1) - expensive
- can't cook - can't cook either, but tries to (+1)
- small footprint (+2) - hogs the whole bed
- can't do laundry - does laundry (+2)
- energy consumption small (+3) - hot baths, hair dryer, curling iron,
- car gas & oil, TV, etc. etc. etc.


Sorry Dez. Gonna stick with my controller!
