Banta and his wife were lying in bed one night. (Since they have small children, the universal-parent coding system for sex is washing machine.) Banta turned to her and said in a seductive voice, "washing machine." Being the hard working parent she was tired and so she said, "Not tonight, dear; I`m tired." Banta rolled away. Five minutes later, he rolled back over and repeated "Honey, washing machine." She said, "I`ve got a headache." Poor Banta rolled away again. Ten minutes later, the wife, feeling guilty, turned to Banta and said, "Ok dear, washing machine." Banta, "That`s OK. It was a small load and I did it by hand." |
