ME: Fuck! HIM: _[waking fairly immediately]_ What?
ME: Don’t talk to me! Don’t look at me! Don’t touch me. _[this last in the lame tones of the obviously ridiculous, as there is no denying they are both still in the one sleeping bag.]_
HIM: Well if you’re not going to tell me what’s wrong, what can I do to help?
ME: Tell me something.
HIM: Okay... what?
ME: What ever happened to your girlfriend?
