unsigned int GoToWork() throw(std::piss_off);

I frequently throw the same exception, although sometimes it is thrown back recursively. Regardless of how it is caught, the firmware suffers and resources shrink. Finally, the dreaded blue-screen-of-death pops up just as the system goes down.

In my personal experience, though, I have received compiler warnings when using the unsigned int. Apparently, whether the call goes through or not, the return value can still be negative. Putting a break point on max(iIncoming, iSpent) will reveal why. In such cases, consider calling Wife.Dispose().
