a small portable computer screen with two big dials.one says ENTER the other REPEAT you speak into it and press ENTER you position in front of other half preferably at face height. the volume should be fixed and not be able to be adjusted. Other half can then keep pressing REPEAT to his hearts content. You can get on with life the universe and everything.

       rant - sorry, whatever sex you are.

       so, sort of a spousal Tivo?

       //rant// - don't be silly. Although I suppose it might sound like one when it's repeated itself for the seventh or eighth time.   

       So what actually appears on the screen, and what's the motivation for the other half to press REPEAT? Or is the repeat button cunningly disguised as a 'STOP' button?

       po.there is a great big clue in my name as to my sex.   

       I would appear on screen and the motivation would be every time other half felt compelled to say ''eh?'' he would press the repeat instead. You obviously don't all suffer the same problem as I do! so give it a few years.

       yeah but its all a bit obscure...   

       what is this a screen?   

       why don't you just go off and have a great lesbian affair that blows your mind and helps with the sudoku?   

       wife repeater just sounds like a blokish title...

po, Oct 20 2007
  

       I tried that one last week but it didn't really help anything.

       Good job! Or, you could pay some woman with a megaphone to repeat your message over and over. Close enough.

       What?   

       Men lose their ability to hear high pitched sounds as they age. I believe this evolved as a survival mechanism.

       Now where's that anno bunning button when I need it. That's a good one Nuke.

       Yeah, ha. Women talk too much! Men don't listen! Where but here could you find out such valuable information? Other than in every single sitcom produced since ca. 1950?

       Hmmm....If I were to marry a triplet, then let's say, something bad happened to her. Just, you know, life is like that sometimes. Then I married her sister. And again something unusual occured. Not foul play really, just, unusual. Finally I marry the third sister..... Yes. Repeating wives.

Noexit, Oct 22 2007
  

       Say what you will about Gambler's Fallacy, I would be very circumspect if I was the third sister.

       don't eat the feckin' mushrooms.

po, Oct 22 2007
  

       I'd take the triplet sisters, three triplet three-somes, in my cruisin' Hermes-Pegasus.Biz methanol-hydrogen MPV, each a seat for them, and I'd be off with the missus in the Ferrari Californiaiaiajay !!!

       [-], I prefer "single shot" wives... no, wait... can I get one with alternate translation functions... like a Babelfish or something.

       Couldn't you do this with SMS?

pertinax, Jun 11 2008
  

       I said, couldn't you ...

pertinax, Jun 11 2008
  

       Never mind.
