   Don't be so hard on yourself! Ok, it might not have been the best of   
   sentences, but it definitely wasn't the worst!

   You have to tell your wife to stop hitting you! This is not acceptable!

   Personally I sometimes try to troll with the punches instead! ;) Jokes   
   aside, looks like you got a good start going there. =)   
      
   Reminds me of the free flowing spirit and legendary swedish wrestler Frank   
   Anderson who was famous for not thinking and just acting. Once he   
   disappeared from his wife for 3 days. He went out to buy milk, and only   
   came back home 3 days later. The wife asked him, and apparently what   
   happened was that when he was going to the store to buy milk, he thought   
   it would be nice to go on a party cruise to finland. So he did.   
      
   Another time I think he was late for either an olympic game, when he was   
   wrestling actively or the medal ceremony. When he finally showed up the   
   trainer was furious and asked where he was, and the reply was "the cock   
   has its own demands which must be satisfied".
