My wife woke me up the other night. I was talking in my sleep. She told me 1) it sounded like I was having some kind of sex dream, and 2) it was pretty obvious it wasn’t about her. Uh-oh. So. What do you suppose happens next? ---

[/QUOTE] Well, you silver-tongued devil, I am assuming you talked your way into a bit of the ol’ heave-ho. Dream couplings are, in fact, allowed in many marriages - no reason to let one go to waste. ---
