Forty or so years ago or so I was in my salad days and income was fortunately not a huge worry, fur coats were desired accessories for ladies that lived in colder climes. I was able to make sure lovely wife was always very appropriately dressed for winter with a variety of dead animals to cover her upper torso. In fact I remember being greeted home from work a few times by her just wearing one of those coats, a pair of very high heels, and a sexy smile, so my purchase was not all for her benefit.
Then came PETA and the paint throwers.
After consenting or having a garage sale on the condition I had nothing to do with it, I returned from work one day and watched three fur coats disappear and $75 put in my wife's hand. Months later when I was up in the garage attic for something, I noticed my old archery stuff had been moved. Upon asking I discovered, two dozen aluminum arrows, a dozen flu flu arrows, leather quiver, and a Bear semi recurve with case had brought in a fat $25.
There is a moral to this story, I just can't think of it right now. Yes, we are still married, 50 years come September.
