Then I'd look at her husband. and there was just nothing nice that I could say about the guy. She and I would talk, we'd laugh, joke, and we'd always ...have a hilarious conversation about her husband and my wife. We'd make comments that maybe we should set them up, knowing both were lame and prudish, but they'd be so paranoid that they'd spend their lives stalking each other, and never do anything else.
