Having met her, I can confidently say that Mrs. Lech is definitely a winner. Seems most of the male PLUSAs, including me, overachieved with their spouses/partners.
When I was about 12 (1969) my father was still working for the Dept. of Sanitation. At that time, the Irish still controlled Tammany Hall, though their power was waning. In the DSNY, it still held strong however. The workers were primarily Italian and Black, and the foremen were Irish. My father, being who he is, railed against this system.
While he was on the job that year, he was hit by a truck, and was thrown 25 feet. It would have killed most men, but my father was built like a bull. He “merely” had a fractured skull and broken shoulder, that required one year of hospitalization.
He applied for a settlement from the city. He received a “visit” from the local union representative, who told him that if he did not agree to a substantial payment to the union, the settlement would be blocked. It galled my father, as he started from nothing. There was nothing he could do. Tammany had to be paid. They were such thugs that they sent a drunken goon to the bank to watch over my father as he cashed the check. Since my father was a big-mouth, the union let it be known what happened among the rank and file, as a “lesson” for any other potential trouble makers.
You can imagine how my father feels about unions and the Irish of those days. To his credit, however, he holds no grudges over it.
1. A hospital waiting room
2. The gym
3. A funeral
4. A job interview
5. In the underwear section of a department store
6. In line for the bathroom
7. Your therapy appointment
8. A parent-teacher conference
9. On a date with someone else
10. At work
Suck it, ENY.

ENY you and I will never see eye to eye on football.

I find that comforting, considering I think you’re a borderline psychopath (nothing personal).

“My wife had to teach me that.”
She, on the other hand sounds like a winner.
Lech – are you some kind of prude? Mouth and hands aren’t watching thats for sure. As for a russian – depends on the material available.

with the bunch of losers in here,
we could fall in a barrel of boobs
and come out sucking our thumbs!
