My wife & I had lunch at a little Irish Pub in the artsy section of town. I went to wash up & as I was coming back a woman at the bar called out “Spin for me.” I stopped, cocked my head inquisitively & smiled. She said “I wanna see the pleat action.” So I obligingly gave a quick spin. She smiled big & said thanks.

About a block away there is a restaurant that specializes in deserts. So we walked there for espresso & a little cake. The place is really nice. It reminds me of a coffee house in Vienna. When we went to pay my wife was standing behind me. I turned to get the debit card from her. I told the girl ehind the counter “We’re married so she keeps all the money. What the girl said next sounded like it was straight from The F-H.C.A.G. “Makes since. It’s obvious who wears the pants in the family.” Everybody, including about 3 that had just stepped in to buy a whole cake, had a good laugh on that one
