I've seen the phrase "a kitchen pass" to go fishing used many times on this board by several. What ta heck is a kitchen pass? HA!

Getting a "Kitchen Pass" is the same as your wife saying "OK, you can go fishing again"

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850] Try doing a few of these things before asking your wife if you can go fishing: Sweep the floor, pick your clothes up off the floor, do the dishes, clean the table and counter tops, tell her what nice she has. Once you've done just one of those things, your chances of getting wife's permission (kitchen pass) is much greater. If you are not married, you have an open perpetual kitchen pass until you do get married.

Or, if you ever get the opportunity to fish with BLM, you may want to ask him the meaning of the phrase "she'll get over it". LOL.

[font "Arial"][red][size 4]I am with you Don, i am trying to figure this out too!!! I hear it so many times and the phrase has been the primary excuse I hear when I get stood up on a fishing trip. About a month ago i figured out the meaning, and I had one response. "Come on guys, grow a pair and go fishing!"

[cool][#0000ff]Hey Don...are you putting us on? I suspect that you are just trying to make a point that YOU RULE THE HOUSE. No kitchen passes necessary when the man runs the show.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Don believes that it is easier to deal with fallout than to ask permission in advance.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That's why dinner at Don's house is often "hot and cold shoulder".[/#0000ff]

OK I get it. It seems some guys have to ask permission and/or they do extra chores inorder to get out an do a little fishing.
Hmmm, somehow asking permission or doing extra chores, kitchen or otherwise, seems like a sure way of defeating ones purpose in the long run..

Its been suggest I'm the ruler of my house. Nope.
As Cosby put it, "I'm not the boss in my house. I dont know how I lost it. I dont know when I lost it. Heck, I dont even know if I ever had it. But I've seen the job, and I dont want it!!"..
BTW, I've also always been a true believer in the fact that kids are born with brain damaged and if their parents hang out around them to much that brain damage rubs off!

Others might suggest I not house broken. Well thats probably true to some extent. But over the years I have found my presents in the house for any length of time usually gets a respounce like "Will you get ta heck out of here and go fishing or something?! And by the way,, call me in a couple three days and let me know your ok and where your at."

[cool][#0000ff]You're a good example of the old saying "We all bring joy to others...some of us by arriving and others by leaving."[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Good strategy. Kinda like getting out of doing the dishes when I was a kid by always dropping a couple.[/#0000ff]

You have got to be kidding, that is just crazy talk[crazy] I ask my wife if she had heard the term "kitchen pass", and she had never heard of it. When ever she wants me to do something, I just tell her I'll do it when I get back.[] But then again, I have been working on building a new bathroom for over a year, I should be putting up the sheetrock this week[] but maybe I'll go fishing instead, LOL.
