YOU Make the Call: Sunday Matinee

Situation: Sunday afternoon, just after 1:00 P.M., you settle on the couch for an afternoon of football and maybe a little blogging. Your wife and her friends, who have been working in the garden, come inside, and minutes later, wifey tells you they want to watch a movie.

It's not just any movie, though, it's "Sex and the City: The Movie," which one of her friends brought over on DVD. And they want to watch it. Now. Downstairs. Where you have settled on the couch.

What would YOU do?

A) Stomp your foot and declare, "This TV will be showing FOOTBALL today!"

B) Beg and plead for your wife to have mercy on you and watch it some other time, preferably when you are miles away at work and not at risk for inadvertent exposure to the film.

C) Pack up your stuff and move to another room as quickly as possible, grinning all the while because now this means you don't have to waste a Netflix rental on it for the wife and risk a request to watch it with her.
