My wife and I have given each other humorous "adultery exceptions" over our seventeen happy years of marriage. Mine is the luscious Nigella Lawson, who is not only beautiful and sexy, but has an Oxford degree (Medieval and Modern Languages, Lady Margaret Hall).
My wife's "free pass" is Alan Rickman. Yes, the bad guy from the Die Hard movies. Go figure!
Rickman is great. Has your wife seen him in the Ang Lee "Sense and Sensibility"? He plays a good guy.
Nigella!!!!! You sir, have superb taste. She can sneak midnight snacks out of my fridge any time.
My wife and I have a similar list of humurous exceptions as well. All of whom are famous people etc. It’s just a way of telling one another “who” we really like in that realm.
One time we actually met the top ecxeption on my wife’s list. It was Ian Asbury the lead singer for The Cult. I think she’d had a crush on him since she was a teenager. We ran into him at a bar and I jokingly agreed to live up to my part of the bargain. She was so terrified to even say “hello” to the guy that ultimately I had to introduce us. She just kind of cried and hugged the guy. The whole episode was so outragiously funny that everyone at our table was in tears laughing to whole night.
LOL. My wife's is Mel Gibson...
Ah, the lovely Mrs. Lawson, brainy, beautiful and bodacious. I’ve heard she can cook too!
