Freak out...techy style

Wanna freak out your husband?
Go out and buy a new wireless router. The kind that allows you to plug in a USB device and use that device wirelessly. Ignore pimply-faced teenager of a salesman when he asks if you have someone to setup the router for you. Pretend you know what you are talking about, and leave store with pride intact.

Once home, invite your brother-in-law over for dinner, and have him install and setup the wireless router for you, because even though you think you are technologically advanced, you’re really not, and couldn’t figure out how to setup a router if your life depended on it. Have bro-in-law setup the printer as your USB device of choice. Cook lasagne for dinner, and marvel at how good it turned out.

Wait for an evening when hubby comes home from work after a hard day, and wants to relax the night away playing video games in the office. Say to him, "Sure, honey. Go ahead. We didn't have any plans for this evening anyways." Be nice and sweet about it, even though the "Honey-Do" jar is overflowing with chores and projects to be done and/or completed.

When hubby is busy playing, quietly slip into the office, and unplug your laptop. Don’t worry, he won’t really notice. He’s too busy killing giant Wookie-like creatures with an assortment of guns, swords, and potions. Take your laptop downstairs, and fire it up, remembering to turn on the wireless connection. Connect to printer upstairs. Open Word, and type “Boo!” Copy and paste the word into the document many times over, so that you have multiple pages of just the word “Boo”.

Wait until all is quiet. Then click on File / Print. Make sure you’ve chosen the USB printer upstairs, in the office...the one that is situated about 4 feet from the back of hubby's head. Click on OK. Wait. Listen carefully. Soon will come the sound of hubby jumping up in the air exclaiming, "What the F***!!!" as printer is turned on automatically, and cranks out page after page of “Boo’s” in that very noisy fashion that only your old Lexmark inkjet printer can make.

Smile and enjoy the moment, as he is now aware that you can print from any room in the house, and will take full advantage of it next time you are working in the office quietly alone.
