Consider me warned.

A few years ago I worked with a woman who lived in DC and was a huge baseball fan. It was the Nats' first season and she and her husband went to lots of games. One day on the way back from the airport she wound up in a taxi with the radio announcer. She was (and I'm sure still is) quite good looking and he suggested a daytime game, if you will. I can get you great Nats seats. She said I am happily married so thank you but no thank you. When she told her husband about it he said come on, couldn't you have given him a lousy ******* for great seats? LOL. Now there is a committed marriage.
