Looks like you'll be sleeping on the couch tonight.

And wives usually have the urge as well, but usually it is homicidal not suicidal.

Orrin, I presume you are a bachelor?

He's certainly trying to become one.

Who among us has ever talked with Mrs. Hunter S. Thompson on the phone?

He can't sleep on the couch - it might get dirty out in the yard

A phone rings at the Judd household:

Hello.

Hi, may I please speak to Orrin?

Just a minute, I'll go out to the yard and wake him up.
