Marital Tribble-ations

(My work is having a company luncheon, and I do not want to go. I don’t want to seem impolite, since I am still fairly new. I beg my husband to come with me.)

Me: “Please. I really don’t want to go to this by myself. I go to your work stuff all the time.”

Husband: “Yeah, but you like my coworkers.”

Me: “Please? I love you.”

Husband: *smirking* “What’s in it for me?”

Me: “Why should I have to promise you acts of intimacy?”

Husband: “Who said anything about that? I was going to make you promise to watch Star Trek with me!”
