[They_LIHOP]

AND, HERE's a few more WINNERS for ya:

<matter-of-factly>
"Honey, I have yet to see any clothes that make you look fat. I'm inclined to say that would be physically impossible"

<all logical an' s**t>
"y'know, I think there's just some differences in the cut...<tailing off knowingly and saying nothing more. Note: there must be more than one item she's trying on for this to work>

<extremely sincerely>
"I REALLY think you should trust your own judgement ... you really always seem to know what looks nice on you"

<doing your best 'SHEE-IT, Girl?!? You KNOW I'm 'bout ta up and drill you right here in this dressing room'> "Um, yeah. Let's just say They're gonna look a lot better in a tangled ball on the floor later on..."

<semi-earnestly, not overdoing it. generally okay if she thinks you're full of shit> "Well, you know me, I think you look best without any make-up at all, so I'm sure I'm not the best person to ask..."

<in a moment of stunning transformation from 'screaming maniac' to 'Dr Phil' - she must be completely taken by surprise by your apparent level of caring> "Honey, you know, I haven't forgotten that you wanted me to mow the lawn and fix the <whatsit> for you, and that IS really important to me too. I promise the game will finish in time for me to do those things for you... don't worry, okay?"

<utterly dumbfounded, and best followed by a short prayer to one's own personal deity> "I CANnot believe you just asked me that? You honestly DON'T KNOW how much I love you? You can't be serious?!?"

Hope this list helps you the next time you need one of these answered ...
