The key to every successful marriage is compromise, also known as negotiation. A couple of years ago, my wife wanted to get a mini daschund - we had previously had one as a pet. Now, we already have one dog (a chocolate lab) and she wanted to add another to our family, so we struck a deal. For every year that we own the dog, I get to go to Mardi Gras that year. Unfortunately for me, Mardi Gras falls during a very hectic time of year for my job, so I haven’t gone yet. But what I do is substitute a different location where some debauchery can take place. Good clean fun. And nothing says good clean fun like Las Vegas! [...] […] First a little background on the current guys trip arrangement, and how to score it for the married dudes.
