I especially like #2 because it's an inside joke between the Hubs and I. Has anyone seen The Graduate? (Great movie! If you haven't seen it I TOTALLY recommend it! It's like being let in on a cinema secret - TV and Film use camera angles and scenes from this movie all the time) Anyway, if you haven't stop reading now and leave me a comment... if you have, you know when Ben goes to Elaine and talks to he about Carl's proposal. And Carl's reasoning for them getting married is they 'make a good team'? They way he says it sounds so unromantic so we always joked that being a 'good team' was bad, but secretly good.
