A woman walks into the kitchen and sees hubby on the laptop.

You on that GD thing again? why dont you get out and walk the dog, get the stink blown off ya?

Dutifully he closes the laptop....its been a sort of crappy day and his favorite stock was down 10 cents already....

Returning 3 hours later, after walking the dog along the Columbia River, going to the dump, stopping at Timmy's, returning the dog to his daughters house, shopping for dinner...the beleaguered man returns home.

Once again in the kitchen with his laptop humming, he sees that his favorite stock has climbed 28 cents off the low of the day and that he missed his bid at $1.07, and he also missed all the excitement of the day. But hes happy with the gain on the day.

Just then his wife enters the room.

Back on the laptop again I see! Dont you get bored?

The man nods a negative nod and smiles inwardly....it hasnt been that bad a day really....and after 30 years he knows that its best to hold his peace. Grin and bear it Cheapie, Grin and bear it!!
