Yesterday morning, I went downstairs, and I found my wife in the kitchen. She was preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the 'T-shirt that she normally slept in. As I walked in, still half asleep, she turned to me and said softly, "you've got to make love to me this very moment!"

My eyes lit up as I thought, "I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day." Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then gave it my all; right there on the kitchen table. Afterwards she said, "Thanks," and returned to the stove, her T-shirt still around her neck.

Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, "what was that about?"

She explained, "The egg timer's broken!!!"
