A couple, concerned with speaking of sex in front of their children, decided to rename sex with the words washing machine.

Each time one of the two decided to entice the other, they would say, How about some washing machine, dear?

Well, one night, the husband was feeling quite amorous and asked his wife for a little washing machine, but the wife refused on the grounds of having a headache.

After a while, the wife reconsidered the husbands request thinking of allowing herself to have a headache interrupt their sexual activities. So, the wife awoke her husband and offered to participate in a little washing machine action.

The husband rolled over, facing his wife, and declared, No, thats ok, dear. It was a small load anyway, so I did it out by hand.
