Andrew:

Yes, but there's nothing wrong with learning -- it's like talking to
other women while you're married, it's what you do with the
information that makes it right or wrong.

That reminds me of something I heard on TV a long time ago...

Just because I've ordered doesn't mean I can't keep looking at
the menu.

:)

Personally, me and the missus have more fun teasing each other when we
find the other's eyes wandering.

Cheers,

I heard it:

"Just because I'm on a diet doesn't mean I can't look at the menu."

I also like:

"I gave sex up for food and now I can't even get into my own pants."
