Since you mention it like something everyone’s seen before, is there a thread explaining this somewhat bizzare concept of there being a person (famous or not) that your spouse agrees you could sleep with without marital repercussions?
I ask because apparently my future former has a work friend who has a similar agreement, but apparently they set the number at three “feebies” rather than one. I don’t know if their agreement specifies famous people.
MisterTot has generously given me permission to sleep with all of the women I want to, no questions asked. :rolleyes: I just don’t get it. Also, I’m allowed to sleep with Jeff Goldblum, don’t know why, but he’s fine with that.
If somebody would like to explain this to me, I’m listening.
The former Mr. Ranger and I had such an arrangment years ago. Mine was for Justin Hayward of the Moody Blues, his was, I forget, some Eighties floozie. Now, if only he’d stuck that bargain…
I don’t know where it came from. My wife and I have kept it as kind of a running joke for years (long before Friends did it). It’s kind of like my wife telling me that, sure I can get a brand-new Harley. It’s a humorous acknowledgement that there’s a snowflake’s chance, so why not OK it since it’ll never happen (unless Penelope Cruz suddenly decides to start hanging out at the Applebees bar in Columbia, SC. Then she’s mine).
So, the improbible happens. You or your spouse actually get that chance. Is it really ok if to take that opportunity, or is it really just a running joke, and something that allows us to make “Man, they are hot” noises at the TV/Movie screen without feeling like our SO is gonna whap us up side the head?
Oh, I would have been so there if Mr. Hayward had ever graced me with his company. On my knees in a New York minute.
Actually, I really did have better than a snowflake’s chance. The ex worked for a major market radio station when we were married and we were always meeting the great and near great, getting free tickets and backstage passes. And wouldn’t you know it. When the Moody Blues were in town, I was 8 months pregnant and never got the chance to meet him.
