SOME LIKE IT HOT!
By Harvey Tobkes
I am sad to tell you that after 52 years of marriage, Anita and I have found that we are thermostatically incompatible.
I tried to solve the problem amicably, so I called the Honeywell Company and asked to speak to one of their chief engineers. I asked him if they manufactured a His and Hers thermostat because my wife, Anita, is always hot… “dying of the heat.†Me? I’m always freezing. I was surprised to hear him say, “ Oh, we hear a lot of those complaints and we are working on the problem, but it’s a bit tricky, so we have nothing to offer you right now.â€
In the early years of marriage we worked out some difficult dilemmas…how many times we visit her mother was a biggie, I won, but she got over it. How many times a week for “boom boom, I lost that one, but I got over it.
You would laugh if you came to visit us and found me in a woolen shirt and a fleece lined parka…and those are my pajamas.
Anita didn’t even like that wonderful movie with Marilyn Monroe, Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis titled, “Some Like It Hotâ€
For me it was a movie classic because…you guessed it…I LIKE IT HOT!
