A couple ways I get my way with the wife, is threaten to cancel the home network shopping channel on our cable tv service, or take the check book away from her, along with her coffee and toliet paper.
That will work most of the time, but the all time best way is to hide her 2 front teeth when she takes em out. She also gets very po'ed at me when I let our puppy lick her 2 front teeth.
