You'd think, after 18 years of marriage she'd know me better than that.

I immediately ratchetted it up to 11 and shouted it with every decibel my theatre trained voice could muster.

My good christian wife turned beet red, my 17 year old daughter started laughing hysterically, my 11 and 12 year old daughters were horrified, and I stood there with a deeply satisfied grin, staring down all passersby.

It was a good day.
Clearly, the man deserves a fine adult beverage of his choice. Well played, sir!
