" BTW - tell the little lady to fetch us a beer if you can manage to speak arount that knee. "

All together now, my sisters! Get Your Own #@$#! Beer, And While You're Up, Get Me One, Too.

Okay, but on the real subject of the discussion, Maybe you could try introducting items to your Reason For Living's kit one at a time, as the need arrises. For example, you could keep an extra Micra in your pocket until such a time as the two of you are out on the town and she realizes she needs a pair of scissors. Then, hand her the Micra and tell her it is hers to keep. Then, carry an extra whistle in your pocket until the day you're watching TV and you see a situation where a woman is in trouble and having a whistle would help her. Then turn to your Reason For Living and tell her, "My Dearest Wife, I want you to have this whistle for your safety,because nothing matters to me more than your safety."

You get the idea.
