You two have been at this for 8 hours! If you were boxers you'd be leaning on each other, head-to-head :-)
- Whoever said that women are the weaker sex never tried to wrest the bedclothes off one in the middle of the night
- Worry is the interest you pay, in advance, for a loan that you may never need to take out.
