Does neutering hurt much?
Discussion
Odd question on this forum I know - but relevant....
The reason I ask is that I have just agreed to buy a '68 step nose alfa gt from a chap in South Africa. I am planning to import the car to the UK.
Trouble is I have not told the other half yet, and just want to understand what punishment I may be in for.
Any words of wisdom welcomed.

I'd start with 'darling how do you fancy a trip to South Africa' (earning brownie points), her obvious response is 'yes dear, you know, you are a wonderful person'
Then on said trip you 'hire' the little alfa and go for a spin on returning the car you say 'darling wouldnt it be romantic if we could bring the little car we've had such a lovely time in back home with us' at which time a well arranged routine between yourself and the seller takes place, where the car just happens to be for sale. Your OH is so caught up in the romance of it all that she agrees and you all go away happy.
Either that or you tell her the truth and lose your nut5ack.

The trick is to tell her first of a much worse scenario, then pretend you have backed away from it and taken a more sensible course of action - i.e. your intended purchase.
So the question to the assembled members should be, what could be the much worse scenario?
"I've bought a Lamborghini in need of restoration" must be up there?

The cat/uncle/parent is dead and I've bought an alfa - depending on OH's anticipated reaction

Gents, thanks for the replies. I am not convinced by your advice so far so I will remain schtum for the weekend 
In which case it sounds as though you don't have any testicles to begin with.Spit it out man and tell! Treat 'em mean and keep 'em keen is my motto - plus of course my wife doesn't read PH...
