I actually did try starting to smoke once in a pathetic effort to get my H's attention. I guess I was trying to convey a message of "Look how miserable you are making me. I have had to take up smoking in order to deal with the stress of being married to you.". Fortunately for my lungs, I have a hard time establishing even bad new habits and my smoking phase only lasted a couple weeks.

BTW I do know that a dog isn't a primate. I just had a brain burp.
