Nope. Nor is it Amway or anything else that involves selling something. No, my friends, "the program" is something far more insidious that begins with the words "I do" . . .
As a guy, your individual identity is stripped away and replaced with that of you and your wife. Your opinion no longer really matters; sure, she may ask you about your preferences, but don't for a minute think that anything you say means a damn thing. That's where the "yes, dear" reflex kicks in. Of course, you gain the "selective hearing" power and (nominal) control over the garage and computer room in your house.

If brute force doesn't work, you're not using enough.

That's if you're lucky. My dad wasn't lucky. We don't have a garage. And the only way my dad could really get any computer control was to get himself a computer(before that, I was the only one with a computer) and to get mom her own computer.

I would also like you to meet my alternate personality, Mistress 9.

Ain't she wonderful? ¬_¬

LoL! I can relate to that!
The "yes, dear" is often followed too with a sigh when the wife is finished checking out one shop and heads for the next ...
Why do women just love shopping?
