You're very kind. We're actually fighting right now. We've rarely fought over the years. The last big fight we got into was 10 years ago and it was about tipping the maid at a hotel. We were leaving and I asked her for the key so I could go back to the room and leave a tip and she yelled at me that you don't tip for only one night. Well, things got heated and there were some old ladies watching and listening and I ended up screaming "you're all a bunch of f-ing cheapskates" and then I stormed out and cried all the way home.

But I did tip the maid.
