Culture clash

My mama and aunt were in Raleigh for a conference and I was able to have dinner with them this evening. They'd spent the afternoon at the upscale shopping center and were raving about it. I told them that the center hosts live beach music on Thursdays, complete with dance lessons, and on said nights it's nearly impossible to find a place to park.

"You should take Steve," one remarked, as we are from the home of beach music.

"Does Steve shag?" asked the other.

And it took every ounce of my Southern soul to keep a straight face. My husband, you see, is English... (cue Austin Powers music)

The magnitude of my declination to comment on this issue has no number large enough to represent it.

Shagwell by name, shag very well by reputation....

I could go on and on. Quotes from that movie are among my arsenal of seductive moves on the husband. Sadly, he can have his way with me with a well timed Beavis quote.

Yes, as a matter of fact. We are just that classy.

Heh heh... I wouldn't have kept the straight face.
