Years ago, the wife was watching a rom-com with slightly risque love scenes. The couple were at it energetically, with lots of panting, squealing and moaning. "Would you moan a bit?" I asked hopefully, "Next time we are being a bit romantic together?"
A week later, just as we were getting to the best bit, she started going on at me, "Haven't you started painting those new drawers in the kitchen yet? And another thing, would you stop leaving your dirty shoes in the hallway?"
