"...a verbal whack. Even if I did like the other kind of whack, I wouldn&amp;#039;t tell you guys. I have some pride. (Well, not really, but I&amp;#039;m pretending I do.) My husband and I have always loved joking with each other, but lately, it&amp;#039;s been in full force. We enjoy the banter of trading insults. Perhaps this is not the most mature. And on a deeper level, it&amp;#039;s likely that we&amp;#039;re covering up some deep seated irritations with each other by using dumb quips as ammo. But since we both know we aren&amp;#039;t going to change that much, why not have some fun with each others&amp;#039; foibles? Laughing is good for the soul, and it&amp;#039;s cheaper than therapy, booze or pills. Here is a sampling of some typical roasts, combined together like a cheesey 80&amp;#039;s move. Cue Foreigner Music. Me: &amp;quot;Wow, Rex, you&amp;#039;re really rocking that Ward Cleaver ensemble. Other than your Target ghost patterned lounge wear, or you brushing your teeth in nothing but Kirkland office socks, I can&amp;#039;t wait to ride you like a Star Trek rocket ship.&amp;quot; Rex: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s called Enterprise. Those of us without ADHD and who can cook without can openers understand the fine nuances of excellent television.&amp;quot; Me: &amp;quot;Oh, yes, I forget how Ax Men is currently up for an Emmy: &amp;quot;Best Use of Wood in a Reality Show.&amp;quot; Rex: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;ve got some wood for you right here.&amp;quot; Me: &amp;quot;Hang on. Let me grab my magnifying glass.&amp;quot; From there there&amp;#039;s lots of laughter with choice words that sound like &amp;quot;Duck&amp;quot; but mean &amp;quot;Sleep&amp;quot; followed by the word &amp;quot;You&amp;quot;. It&amp;#039;s not always high brow, but we have fun anyway. It&amp;#039;s shocking that we even manage to have sex after that, but somehow, like Rex&amp;#039;s favorite television shows, we blast off and chop-chop a few nights a week. Until next time, may your insults never be stronger than your love. Photo found on Google Images from from this vintage poster site. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
