WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor

I have a musician friend who is an electronic drummer. His wife hates having the gear in the house and she resents the investment he has made in it.
One day, while he was practicing, she came in, pointed directly at a piece of gear he had recently installed in his rack and asked annoyingly "What's that?"
He said quietly "Oh, I've had that for years. It's always been there."
She replied "Wait here" and went upstairs. A minute later she returned with her digital camera, saying "Where is it in this picture?", and demanded that my friend find the piece of gear in question in the photo she had taken of his rack only a month previously.

As a single guy, I have to mention that when I have had women over to visit, they have always inquired about the acoustical treatment attached to the walls, the stack of big mono block amps and the huge speakers in the living room. Fortunately, most of them came to instantly appreciate what it was all about after I played some music they liked over my stereo and they said they understood why I had all that "unsightly" stuff in my house. As for those who didn't...

George,

His wife brings in the bacon so he can stay at home, raise the kids (something he absolutely adores doing) and practice his drumming. While what his wife did to him was rather cold hearted, I don't think he really wants to change his domestic situation.
