"'How dare you? How dare you ask me to change my life for you? How imperial. How colonial.'

"But, ah, here is the strange truth. Whenever I'm asked to trade seats for somebody else's love, I do. I always do."/>

" I am always amused by those couples, lovers and spouses who perform and ask others to perform musical chairs whenever they, by random seat selection, are separated from each other.

"'Can you switch seats with me," a woman asks me, 'so I can sit with my husband?'

"'How dare you? How dare you ask me to change my life for you? How imperial. How colonial.'

"But, ah, here is the strange truth. Whenever I'm asked to trade seats for somebody else's love, I do. I always do. "
