To my Dear Girlfriend (Wife):
During the past year I've tried to make love to you 365 times. I've succeeded thirty-six times, which is an average of once every ten days. The following is a list of why I feel I didn't succeed more often:
- Fifty-four times the sheets were clean.
-
Seven times it was too late.
-
Forty-nine times you were too tired.
-
Twenty times it was too hot.
-
Fifteen times you pretended to be asleep.
-
Twenty-two times you had a headache.
-
Seventeen times you were afraid of waking the baby.
-
Sixteen times you said you were too sore.
-
Twelve times it was the wrong time of the month.
-
Nineteen times you had to get up early.
-
Nine times you said weren't in the mood.
-
Seven times you were sunburned.
-
Six times you were watching the late show.
-
Five times you didn't want to mess up your new hair-do.
-
Three times you said the neighbors would hear us.
- Nine times you said your mother would hear us.
Of the thirty-six times I did succeed, the activity was not satisfactory because:
Six times you just laid there.
Eight times you reminded me there's a crack in the ceiling.
Four times you told me to hurry up and get it over with.
Seven times I had to wake you and tell you I was finished.
- One time I was afraid I had hurt you because I felt you move.
