5) Have a mother in law who actually wants to get you a decent pressie for Christmas and send her to this site

Dave,

You *do* know that this method has been successfully used by women throughout time?! They aren't quite as involved as this, but the "spread the tackle out" type subtefuge has been working for millenia. How many dresses have you never noticed hanging up in the closet before?? How many handbags appear out of no-where and look brand new but "Oh, that old thing??" is the response you get.

Don't feel guilty boys!! This is just retribution!!

Viva la online tackle shop!!!

Kevin
