Clearly the OP was edited before posting. Statistics - check Pudding - check Sex - ??? Did you leave something out? ---

give each other a spanking for having such a blowup over a silly argument. then kiss ans make up. do this and you will eventually stop having fewer blowups over silly arguments or more of them. ---

I’m waiting for the OP to return with the sex, which thus far has been sorely lacking, despite the promise of same in the title. Neither statistics nor pudding are acceptable alternatives. ---

> [@Asimovian](#): > > There is clearly an “and” in the subject line of the OP. The pudding and stats are non-optional. If you can’t find a way to integrate them into your sex, you’re out of luck. Well I suppose we can play ‘flick and lick’ and generate statistics on the number of successful flicks? ---

An argument is a piss-poor excuse for eating pudding. Pudding doesn’t need an excuse. ---

This summer, pudding doesn’t need an excuse. Coming soon, ‘Milgram’s Study’ in 3D!” I can’t stop laughing. Totally in movie preview guy’s voice. Too funny. “Pudding doesn’t need an excuse” is my new favorite tag line. ---
