[English]

item 28 your pet name for me time's

running out on this you need to make a

decision I submitted you a notorized

list I'm sorry but Gollum and Flaky are

not

acceptable wow you don't like princess

corn cob you don't like Fester you're

just impossible to please we'll come

back to that one this brings us to the

final item in our annual state of the

relationship Summit item 29 Valentine's

Day ah the worst for last

classic

flaky before you get upset I believe

I've come up with a W for us to

celebrate the occasion that we both can

enjoy people usually start a meeting

with a joke but you go ahead end with

one I propose we spend a weekend at a

bed and breakfast in Napa Valley I hate

every word in that

sentence including in at we and

uh come on Sheldon why not for starters

a bed and breakfast forces you to eat

with strangers at your table one step

ahead of you bernardet and walowitz are

going with us oh very well what are the

sleeping Arrangements we've only been

dating for 3 years if we were to share a

room people might

talk I got you your own room what if my

room has a claw foot bathtub it doesn't

I know it makes you feel like you're

bathing inside a

monster look I appreciate the effort but

I'm still unclear how this trip is

supposed to be enjoyable for me we're

going to have Valentine's Day dinner on

a fully functioning vintage

train vintage be specific an Alcoa fa4

diesel locomotive leading a train of

meticulously restored 1915 Pullman first

class

coaches

wow I'm feeling the urge to hug

you and one and two all right Gollum

we're

good oh

• I submitted you a notorized list

  ➔ Past simple tense, unusual word order (object-verb)
