So, first tradition: on Wednesdays I play football with my friends... no matter what.. whether it snows or it rains... I dont care.. I play football!! Is it clear for you?" - husband asks his wife.
"Yes, sure," - she answers.
"So, the second tradition... On Fridays I play poker with my friends, no matter what, I play poker!!
Is it clear for you?" - he asks.
"Yes, sure," - she answers.
"The third tradition... On Sundays I go fishing, no matter what, I go fishing...whether it snows or it rains... I go fishing!!!
Is it clear for you?" - he asks.
