Ja ja ja, ja JA JA JA.... I cannot stop laughing. This is one of the all time best videos you have posted.
I have a another way of getting another tank! This actually worked as I just pulled it off LAST week !
Like the Rick said, hound your wife about getting another tank, like months, say hey I bought all these fish for around $5 or $10 each and that you have a standing deal with a LFS to trade those fish in for another tank. Well once the fish get big enough to trade start bring up that you are trading these fish in for another tank, 2 or 3 months pass and you still have not done a deal, get pissed off and start complaining that the LFS screwed you over and is now renigging on the deal and will not give the the agreed $$ credit towards a tank but only fish credit.
Then work a ton of OT - Like 42 hours in one week. When that big check arrives quickly go to the bank and withdrawl $500.00 LMAO I actually did this.
Then start looking on craigslist and find a complete setup - Tank, Stand, Canopy, filter, heaters, glass tops - EVERYTHING you need. Talk the guy down from $700 to $500.
Then when you are ready to go check out the tank, take your daughter with you (evidence). She sees the tank and reports back to the warden that it is in fact a legit deal.
Now, you just take a week for this to set in and the warden will start talking to you again. This is when you know you have succesfully orchestrated getting a bigger tank. You don't take $$ out of the budget and you get your dream tank !
As Charlie Sheen says - I am winning ! LMAO !
