Snuffling Around

This morning Grumpy and I were out enjoying a quiet breakfast - or so I thought. I was busy trying to master the cryptic crossword. After a few minutes Grumpy gave me a rather critical and somewhat cynical look and said, "Isn't this great? We've turned into on of those married couples who have nothing to say to each other."

"I like to think of it as a comfortable silence."

"HarrrrUMPH!"

"Well, the lack of conversation never bothers you when you've got your nose stuck in the paper, does it?"

***a brief but icy silence***

"You were this close to referring to it as my snout, weren't you?"
