THE COIN TOSS
"Heads, we get married. Tails, we break up. How's that?" said Carl.
"Is that all this relationship means to you?" said Marta.
"Come on Marta. How much fun have we had every time we break up?"
"Well, there was the fight in the cable car and he got thrown off for doing it in the last row."
"Marta, admit it. We have the best make up sex and things get better and better with each fight."
"Carl, are you suggesting a coin will decide when we get married?"
"Yes, that is exactly what I'm suggesting. We win either way."
"So you're not suggesting we see other people?"
"What for? You're the only woman for me."
"That's the most romantic thing you've ever said to me, Carl."
"So are we getting a room or what?"
"It's my turn to pay, lover boy."
And so Carl and Marta saved the coin for another day when they needed something to do.
