A Burr In My Stocking

My wife is off work this week, recovering from her accident. She got up this morning and put on Perry Mason. As soon as the iconic, film noir theme song began, I conjured up images of swanky nightclubs and well-dressed people exchanging double entendres.

I said to my wife, "Hon, can you get me a cigarette?"

"Um, you don't smoke," she replied.

"And a martini," I added.

"You don't drink," she pointed out.

"And a dame," I rejoined.

"You wouldn't know what to do with a dame," was her response.

Now, I ask you, is that fair? I'm going to need all my friends to rally to my defense.
