The nervous young bride became irritated

The nervous young bride became irritated by her husband’s lusty advances on their wedding night and reprimanded him severely.

“I demand proper manners in bed,” she declared, “just as I do at the dinner table.”

Amused by his wife’s formality, the groom smoothed his rumpled hair and climbed quietly between the sheets.

“Is that better?” he asked, with a hint of a smile.”

“Yes,” replied the girl, “much better.”

“Very good, darling,” the husband whispered.

“Now would you be so kind as to please pass the privates.”
