Things We Talk About In Bed

"Hey," I said to Brian last night, in the dark. "If we were contestants on The $20,000 Pyramid and the category was "Things Associated with Rednecks," what clues would you give me?"

"Skoal," he answered immediately. "Nascar. Country music. Big belt buckles."

"Hmm," I said. "Those are good. I was thinking of camouflage clothes. Wrestling. Smoking." I paused, then added, "An unreasonable love of American-made cars."

He laughed, then we thought of some more: Rebel flags. Skynyrd. Bumper stickers about Jesus.

These are the kinds of things we talk about in bed.
