Get the Don't leave horsepower in the showroommug. A shrewish, nagging spouse who thereby takes at least two years off of one's life for each year of marriage.

Get the man-aging partnermug.

OMG, I can't believe the epic last responder shifts my obstetrician wife is pulling so far in 2021 -- all those @#$%! millennials couldn't just binge-watch and keep their hands to themselves for a couple of months?
