Gentlemen, “When are you going to learn to not touch the hot stove again?” is not the response your wife is looking for when she needs to ‘talk’ about her frustrations with her latest volunteer effort.
Repeating that question several times in the course of a discussion does not improve it, either.
Just nod, grunt approvingly, and agree with her at appropriate intervals. In the long run, it’s the best course of action for both of you.
Remember, ‘tis better to be happy than to be right.

That said…I certainly hope you were the wise man you described above, and not the idiot playing chicken with a lit stick of dynamite.
