Jings! Wonder how often he buys something because he'd forgotten that he already had one?

I have a buddy that collects cars but he is so wealthy that I really can't use him, well, because he's so wealthy.

What I can use is my wife's friend's husband - he collects guns. A lot of guns. And ammo. And knives. Probably has explosives...

On the other hand I could threaten to collect snakes or roaches...

If you mean "bird hunting" as my British friends use the term, I think you are correct. I often think that a focus on a pristine dial or unpolished case often keeps me from ruminating on a well-turned set of gams.

Just go count how many pairs of black shoes she owns.
Exactly. A guy I play hockey with does a lot of fishing. When his wife complained about him buying all the fishing rods in his garage, he just replied "These are my shoes."

And designer handbags.
I did explain to my wife how important it is to hold on to all the boxes and papers 😀

Sometimes a man just gotta make time for both!

.... but .... but ...... I only have 8 pair. 🙁 Forget about what each pair cost. 😵‍💫 😁

My wife has tried the argument that the one pair of Ferragamos cost more than 4 or 5 of her pairs of shoes. I fire back with the LV, Coach, Dooney & Bourke, and Burberry bags cluttering 3 different rooms. 😉

My wife says if you cover shipping she will help with the problem...
