I have a lot of sequels delivered!

People at work have started to notice I have a lot of books. I don't know why I should mind, but somehow I feel the need to justify it.

"It's cheaper to have them delivered to work than to get a wife."

(Actually, in our house, I'm the expensive one, and Colin;s the one who answers the door, but you get the idea.)

ROFL. Yes. And don't worry, I think we switched over the meaning of "wife" the same time we did "grue", so it does mean that :)

(Except (a) it doesn't actually cost any more to get them delivered to work and (b) I'd like to meet a wife, it just hasn't worked out yet.)

(And indeed (c), the idea of a housewife, even if that's what everyone wants, makes me feel horribly last millionium)
