DAY 0 - Who wears the shirts in this relationship?

The real travels began about an hour and a half before the car was to pick us up from our house and take us to the airport, as we started to pack.  Adrian pulls out 11, yes ELEVEN, t-shirts from his dresser.  I say, "What are you doing with those?"  He replies, "Taking them to Spain."  I walk over to investigate, they are seven of the most ratty t-shirts he owns, followed up by six other newer ones (read: I picked them out when we bought them).  I ask, "Why are you bringing these ones (the ratty numbers)?" 

He replies, "Because I never wear them anymore."  What he doesn't realize, is that the reason he never wears them anymore is because every time he pulls one out and asks me if he should wear it, I pull out a different one saying, "Wear this one instead."  This is usually one of the shirts that I have chosen for him on one of our charmed shopping trips, which always end with the comment, "I hate when you look at me like I'm a ken-doll and you can dress me however you want."  At this point I continue to point out, as I have five times already, that I'm really only taking enough outfits for a week, so I'm going to have to do laundry at least that often.  The discussion goes on for awhile, until he walks over to the closet, chooses his favorite 8 dressier/work shirts and brings them over to me, "Are these good?"  I say, "I'm not telling you until you cut your t-shirt stack by half."  He will not concede.  I reluctantly look through them and say "Leave this one out, bring the blue polo - that's my favorite on you."  So he's busy figuring out how he is going to pack 19 shirts in the suitcase with everything else he's brought and I ask, "Are you bringing undershirts?"

"No," he replies, "I don't have room." 

"Isn't it a little humid and sticky in Spain?" I ask.  So he makes his way over to the dresser, takes out a stack of his white Hanes undershirts and walks back over to the suitcase. 

"How many are you taking?" I ask.

"Ten."

Ladies and gentlemen: My dear, sweet husband has brought 29 shirts along on our 24 day trip to Spain.  He told me that I am not allowed to tell this story without also saying how many books I've brought on this trip.  Nine.
