Now that's perfectly normal behaviour for anyone who posts here ;-)
I do similar tricks but I still refuse to tidy cupboards, wardrobes and
other storage facilities. My desktop is, of course another matter
entirely. Its empty except for a photograph, a telephone and whatever
I'm working on at the time.

You know, that might be it. I'll have to observe* her the next time she
gets ready to go somewhere.
*Surreptitiously, of course. For some reason, she doesn't like me to
watch her get ready (though she wants me to give my opinion on the
things she tries on...)

...how did you *get* a wife in the first place?? o_O

Clubbing them over the head is effective :)

Oh. LOL!
Apparently they're holding a large Haskell event next month. However,
rather than hold it in Cambridge, where I can get to it, this year they
decided to move it to London, where I can't get to it. Gee, that's nice.
On the other hand... my next door neighbor is apparently a Haskell
programmer. (How random is that??)

What about creating one of your own with two chickens at a 12 degree angle?

Does that refer to the bizarre American habit of reheating coffee in a
microwave?

Yes. While it's not as good as drinking it fresh, it's better than
drinking it cold or throwing it away and starting over. :-)

Helpful housekeeping hints:
Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.
