Do you think that you could talk your wife into smoking a few discrete slammers of high-quality Czechoslovakian angel dust and then swapping soiled panties with your new Ladylove True? And when I say “soiled” panties, I mean SOILED panties… ---

I think you should introduce her to me. I’ll warm her up for you and when she gets really hot, I’ll turn her over to you and you can pound her cross-eyed. Ain’t true love great? ---

I don’t think you’re a scumbag, but you’re definitely on that road. You are playing with fire. Very light flirting can be healthy and harmless. Footsie, however, is not appropriate when you’re married. You asked what you \*should \*do, so here goes: branch out and find some new friends so you’re not spending every Friday night with this couple. No more touching this woman other than a handshake. If you don’t reciprocate, she’ll likely get the hint. Distance. Put some in between yourself and this woman, fast. All isn’t lost, you have a chance to redeem yourself here. Keep your vows. ---

Well, it’s not like you have a foot fetish or anything. Good luck with the husband beating you half to death and your divorce. ---

If you could just get your wife to go to the bathroom and stay there, you and fobby could consummate! Go for it, dude! ---

Tinea pedis, and a fungal nail infection. Apparently it can be treated with silver-impregnated fibres, but I’m not touching _that_… ---
