A young couple got married. On
their honeymoon, they were very anxious to have sex because they
were both virgins.
Because of their sexual inexperience, they were a bit
uncomfortable discussing the subject, so they came up with the
term, "doing the laundry" to use in place of
"having sex". This made them more comfortable with the
whole concept.
Well, the first night of their honeymoon was wonderful. They
"did the laundry" five times that first night. In the
middle of the night the new husband woke up, and he was ready to
do the laundry again.
He gently shook his new wife and asked her, "Can we do the
laundry again?" but she was very tired. She told him that
she just couldn't do it again just yet. Maybe in the morning.
A few hours later the new wife awoke feeling very guilty. What he
had asked for wasn't unreasonable, and decided she should go
ahead and "do the laundry".
With that thought in mind, she gently shook him and said,
"Honey, I'm sorry I denied you... we can do the laundry
again if you want", and he replied, "That's OK... it
was a small load. I did it by hand."
