For Lanky

Lanky mentioned that he needed more Mike-isms, so here are excerpts from tonight's dinner conversation:

(NB: we went out to celebrate our 5th anniversary)

Mike: And do I make you happy?

Me: I'm happier than I ever dreamed.

Mike: Of course, that's not saying much, since most of your dreams are about going to the toilet.

*pause*

Me: Well, how do you know? Maybe going to the toilet is a very pleasant experience for me.

Mike: So I make you happier than taking a big s**t?

Me: Yes.

Mike *looks very pleased*

**** later *****

Me: Yum, I'm really looking forward to that spinach. Maybe I'm anemic.

Mike: That's the only reason I can imagine for looking forward to spinach.

Me: Well, what if you were in the desert for six weeks, and you hadn't eaten in five days, and then you found a remote village...

Mike: And they grew spinach?

Me: Yes. Maybe all they had to eat was spinach.

Mike: I'd eat one of the villagers.
