Not long after my wife arrived here we had a Chinese takeaway. Once I had finished eating mine and cleared the plate, my wife decided that she couln't eat any more and asked me if I wanted her leftovers. I said yes and took her plate with the leftovers, put it on top of my empty plate and started to eat.
My wife grabbed both plates from me and had a bitof a fit, so I asked what was wrong. She said that if I eat from one plate on top of someone elses empty plate, this means I'll run off with another woman.
