I like that; and it seems to be a cheerful discussion.

Sometimes when you get men alone, and give them a pint or 3, they say the darndest things about their wives; and he looks like he has a lot to say. Looks like it would be a juicy conversation.

Great expression and charactor.

Wow... In all honesty, he looks creepy to me, like he's talking about how he kidnapped a girl and made her his wife.

Nice lines.

...and yes, it's a condom.
