The scene: Me sitting in my office, scanning the AW boards when, of course, I should be writing. Enter my wife, ostensibly for the purpose of asking me to do something (probably take down the outdoor Christmas lights).
HER: Mornin. What are you doing?
ME: Not much. Checking out AW. I need to do some writing here in a few minutes.
HER: Hmm. What's that? (points toward screen)
ME: What? That? Heck, I dunno. Some Google ad. I think it helps pay for the site.
HER: "Filipina Gallery?" They sell foreign women to pay for the site?
ME: No, of course not. It's just an ad. AW doesn't have any control over what is advertised.
HER: Hmm. Did you click on it?
ME: What? Of course not! Why would I do that? I don't think anybody ever actually clicks on them. After awhile you hardly even notice that they are there.
HER: I noticed it. Right away.
ME: ...
HER: So. how much does a Filipina go for these days?
ME: I have no idea. I didn't click on it.
HER: She's very pretty. Probably pretty expensive.
ME: I really hadn't looked that closely...
HER: You think you could tear yourself away from the computer long enough to help me out around the house?
ME: yes ma'am...
So, I think you can see the problem.
