Inigo-True love, you cannot ask for a more noble cause than that
Miracle Max-Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world. Except for a nice MLT: a muntin, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the muntin is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky, I love that.

My wife has a collection of exfoliating creams. I guess this stuff is to make you shed skin like a snake.
There seems to be no end to an endless line of expensive creams and goo to ward off aging that women slather all over themselves every night.
I told my Hariett that one night I will reach over to give her a big ole hug and she will be so slippery that she will slide out of bed and hit the floor.
