I never tried that, but it's always been something I've been interested in doing... It's too small in those bathrooms, though.

Who has sex in the bathroom of a private plane?
Well, when I get my own G4, that could be a future priority.

Priority?
[Laughs] Wait, maybe not priority, but a future goal that I'll fulfill.

Goal? Your priorities are out of whack, sweetie. Where's your head at?
That came out wrong. You're right, maybe not a goal but a…

Too late; this is going to print.
