A severed finger...(Things women say #10)
From a reader (and one of my oldest friends...err, and 'oldest' friends), this is an excuse we can use when cornered by a woman who 'has been thinking.' I can only assume this is a good idea considering my multi-year bachelorhood has left me ill-equipped to handle many difficult situations (I am assured 'That's a first,' is not the correct answer). I vaguely remember hearing this once or twice, and he is correct, it is usually a lead-in for one of several conversations:
1) Marriage
2) State of Cohabitation
3) End of relationship
In general, if you can't find Trading Spaces on TV quickly, bleeding is an acceptable delay tactic. In the 90's, considering my average length of dating prior to co-habitation was around 3 weeks, most of the time it meant I was going to get the 'It's not you, it's me' speech, and I was going to be saddled with $500 worth of utility bills. Still, if they had put up with my mental gymnastics for any period of time, it was the least I could do.
