Wife: Let's take the kids and go to the beach. Me: I can't, I have lots to do. Wife: You need to spend more time with us. Me: If only there was a way I could work on the beach. Me: To bad the beach doesn't have computers. Wife: You should get a laptop. Me: Where's my keys. Result: New laptop and a trip to the beach.
