Experiment update. December 18, 5:45 PM PDT. I have been banished to the truck. Temperatures are below freezing and all my wife allowed me was a light jacket and a few of Hans Leerburg Liver Biscotti treats. They actually aren't so bad when you get hungry enough.
The gas tank is almost empty. I don't know how long I'll be able to run the engine and keep the heater running. Every time I call my wife on the cell phone she yells something about Ed, Bob and Al all sleeping outside in dog houses and I should consider myself lucky. Then she hangs up on me.
I tried to drive away, only to discover that she punctured all the tires. I am afraid I am doomed.
Funny video, and it reminds me of a Pallechio family story ...
Years ago, when I was 5 or 6 I think, my dad went out and bought a new dishwasher. This was in the late 1950's and was the first dishwasher we ever had. My younger brother and I watched raptly as dad and the guy from the store installed the thing and ran it for the first time.
For some reason, we were never allowed to use it, at least not for several years. My mom said it wouldn't get the dishes clean and so my brother and I had to take turns washing and drying them when we were a couple of years older and could reach the sink. All the while this dishwasher sat untouched and unused.
Finally, after several years, mom relented and without explanation we started using the dishwasher.
I puzzled over this for years, decades really. And then, sometime in the 80's, it occurred to me. It was like a deep hidden memory finally popped up to the surface:
The dishwasher was a birthday present from dad to mom.
The test is over!
My two GSDs seem to prefer on another's company in one of the two dog houses in the run. That means I have one all to myself. DAMN! it's cold out here!
The little woman says if I'm really nice the dogs just may share their kibble with me in the morning.
a take a long leash at least 15 meters
b a strong collar
c a tractor
attach the leash to the tractor
open the door on the drivers side
take the leash put it trough the steeringweel and then trough the car and exit the car via he trunk
Here's the tricky bit

no get into the tractor and pul the wife into the car.
Don't forget to brake on time
and close the trunk
No matter how strong your wife is it works

Rich,
don't panic, you can still try the experiment! Throw a credit card with no limit in the trunk ( high value treat), if you get her in drive she'll dive right in! If this doesn't work..............RUN man!
Those of you who have had problems with this exercise, or need food or other pansy positive reinforcements to get your spouses in the trunk, obviously have serious "pack leadership" problems. Try the NILIF (Nothing In Life Is Free) approach. It works well!
I tried it on my husband and it worked wonders. I simply now say "TRUNK!" and he gets right in.
