After all, everyone loves the French 4) The four calling birds will be replaced by an automated voice mail system, with a call waiting option.

My dearest darling Edward,
What a wonderful surprise has just greeted me! That sweet partridge, in that lovely little pear-tree; what an enchanting, romantic, poetic present! Bless you, and thank you.

As soon as the newlyweds returned from their honeymoon, the husband decided he would lay down the law.
"I will be home when I want, if I want and at whatever time I want," he told his new bride. "And, I don't expect any hassles from you."
"I also expect a decent meal to be on the table every evening," he continued, "unless I tell you otherwise. I will go hunting, fishing, drinking and card playing with my buddies whenever I wish. Those are my rules. Now, do you have any comments?"
"No, not at all," she replied. "That's all fine with me. Just understand that there will be sex here at seven o'clock every evening, whether you're here or not!"
