Tell him you’ll dye your hair “Leela purple” when he dyes his hair “Fry red”. Not regular red-head red, mind you, but the exact same hue as Fry’s hair in the cartoon. Then again, maybe you shouldn’t. He’d probably do it. ---

Hubby has a big crush on Leela, and the sight of that perky ponytail always gives him ideas.

Merely insist that, since you are becoming Leela for him, he should hold still for the eye-gouging. This will make him suitable as well! Oh my, yes. ---
