# 69 Beef and Broccoli

Chinese guy and his wife are in bed one night after working hard all day at their restaurant.  About 2 am. he still can't sleep, rolls over and shakes his wife saying, " why you no kiss me anymore? "  she grunts and says to go back to bed.  He does but minutes later he turns back and shakes her again, saying " why you no make love to me anymore?"  She is aggrivated but says little and repeats to go back to bed.  He can't and finally demands, " Why you no 69 me anymore? "  Now she is pissed and sits up and shouts, " What, What, What?  You want a  Beef and Broccoli at this time of night ? " 
Regardless of what # 69 is to each of you, Beef and Broccoli is a good meal!  This is a rendition adapted from a friend, a little heavier on the broccoli and a little less on the beef.  Kisses, love and more are sure to come your way.....but cook it right first!
