Ummmmm—I think you're very fortunate to have a wife who even allows you to have a snack bell and ring it, let alone answer it with something more than a scowl. :)

Be that as it may, I can't argue with your logic about what most women do regarding what any of us men might say, so I will remove my previously stated hesitation from any consideration of further action and say to you, "Carry on, sir! Carry on!"
