The young parents used code words when discussing sex in front of their children. The term for intercourse was "washing machine". They were lying in bed one night when the husband turned to her, "Darling, washing machine."
"Not now, I've got a headache." she replied.
An hour later, he ran his hand down her leg and said, "Darling, washing machine, please! Washing machine."
"I've got a headache!" she complained.
An hour later, feeling sorry for him, she turned to him and said, "Ok, washing machine."
"Don't worry," he replied, "it was a small load, so I did it by hand..."
