Pumpkins

An old married couple once stayed up late to watch the final game of the World Cup. (That is the game of soccer, and living in the eastern hemisphere automatically creates interest in said sport.) He got a phone call (from overseas) and she was playing a (riveting) computer game on the laptop while they watched. When the phone call ended, and the battery on the laptop died, they sat and cuddled while watching the last part of the game. (While wondering if the French captain was a lunatic, and if the Italians would win because of their good looks.) Says the man, “We really ought to have more quality time together like this.” She lovingly answers, “Yes. I especially liked the part when you were on the phone, I was using the computer and the TV was on. Yes, that is quality time.” Then they stayed up till almost midnight and turned into pumpkins. It’s awfully hard for pumpkins to get out of bed the next morning. The End.
