"We have to hurry, my husband will be home any minute."
"You're hilarious."
"I'm just trying to spice things up. Isn't that what married couples are supposed to do?"
"Oh, geez."
"Why, it's the PSE&G guy! Are you here to read the gas meter?"
"(Sigh.) Yes, uh, you sure did use a lot of energy this month."
"Well, I do like things hot. But I can't pay my bill! Whatever will I do?"
"I could, heh, put you on an extended payment plan."
"Ooh, I like that idea. Ooh. How far can it extend?"
"And you know, you can get a rebate on our Energy Saver hot-water heater."
"Oh, yeah, baby."
"Save you a bundle."
"Okay, I'm done."
Like any other hot-blooded male, I certainly enjoy well-scripted smut with my morning coffee, but it really could've used a soundtrack. And maybe a pizza delivery guy.

Sounds like the dirty talk at my house.
(Aside - my fiance put one thing on our registry - a kill-a-wat energy meter. Nothing like romance!)

All I have to say is...dirrrrty! And hilarious!

That's hot.

Chicky boom, chicky boom...
The beauty, the poetry of the double entendre, is that even the most innocuous word has a way of becoming filthy.

much better than my husband's attempts, which usually involve either star trek, heavy metal lyrics, or golf. i've started to 'phone it in'. *sigh*
Posted by: holly | December 13, 2007 at 10:07 AM
That was hot and heavy. I almost expected your cat to get into the picture.
I myself have entendre-laden conversations with the cable guy. He's COMCASTic!

Ah! Sorry about the double comment ... slow-loading internet, bah!
Posted by: rye | December 13, 2007 at 10:36 AM
I'd comment, but I can't stop shaking with laughter. Priceless!

I'm an avid lurker--also a writer and mother to a three-year-old girl. We've been trying for another baby for a year now. (Why is it that being 36, going on 37, suddenly makes me feel SO damn old and panicky?!) Your experience pretty much sums up my own "close encounters" these days. Let's hear it for "meter-reader love." LOL!

My husband would have gone into theories of boiler efficiency. Oh, wait. I'm the wet blanket.

You're in a better place than us right now. Earlier this week I consented to "promise you'll leave me alone afterwards, and make it quick" sex.
Posted by: Julie | December 13, 2007 at 02:57 PM
LOL! Thanks for the laugh.
Posted by: Aisha | December 13, 2007 at 04:11 PM
Yeah, it's always good to insert a little realism there. Those authentic details regarding utility company rebates, etc. I'm always like "Oh, honey, you know that's not tax deductible! You've totally ruined the mood now!"
Posted by: ozma | December 13, 2007 at 07:25 PM
That got me hot. Thanks.
Posted by: HeyJoe | December 13, 2007 at 07:32 PM
...
I key utility bills for a living. PSE&G is one of my big customers.
I'll never think of them the same way again.

Reminds me of that scene in the Big Lebowski: (switching off a p&rn film) "You can imagine where it goes from here." "Uh...he fixes the cable?" "Don't be fatuous, Jeffrey."
Posted by: Robin | December 14, 2007 at 05:13 AM
It never fails that my husband's turn on line is, "So, your husband's on vacation?"
Posted by: Erika | December 14, 2007 at 10:37 AM
I wonder if that ever happens to actual energy workers. I have had a cable man or two that have made me want to go all p**rn star.
Posted by: Strizz | December 14, 2007 at 10:50 AM
Ha! Oh that was GREAT! Exactly what happens at my house...
Posted by: saucygrrl | December 14, 2007 at 07:10 PM
LOL, that was great. PSE&G meter guy came to our house this morning and the most excitement that happened was our dog jumping all over him.
Posted by: Mauigirl | December 14, 2007 at 08:10 PM
Of course, that was the REAL PSE&G man. And he was kinda cute...
