ROMANCE - An older couple were lying in bed one night. The husband was falling
asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk. She said: "You used to
hold my hand when we were courting." Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a
second and tried to get back to sleep.. A few moments later she said: "Then you used
to kiss me." Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled
down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said: "Then you used to bite my Neck.." Angrily, he threw
back the bed clothes and got out of bed. "Where are you going?" she asked.. "To get
my teeth!"
