Just come to my house and tell my wife I'm buying a new boat.. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Tim,
Just arrive home with that new boat and tell you're wife you *won it* by being best-in-your class at that Delta Flight Simuluator School.
Always has worked for me. (Yelling and screaming subside after about 1 week...new boat lasts for years!).
