The Finch Formerly Known As Gold

Don't even mention soap scum

Sharon says this is the worst Family Feud question ever, and indeed, it does seem a tad perverse: "Name a reason you think making love in the bathtub might not be so romantic."

Top five answers, with her annotations:

  1. Too small (not sure if this means the man, the woman, or the tub)
  2. Splashes/messy (must have been women saying this since men never care about messes)
  3. Water gets cold (how long are you taking?!)
  4. Might slip (that's why you have those little rubber mats in the tub!)
  5. Might drown (Good grief, how deep IS your tub?!)

"Faucet sticking into backside" apparently did not get the two votes required for listing.

Persuading my wife to get into the tub with me would leave me too exhausted to do anything more anyway.

I can think of a lot of other reasons... none that I would think would be allowed on "The Feud"

as a kid I wanted to receive those surveys and then find someone else that received one as well. Then we would collaborate on sending in the weirdest answer possible.
"Name something you would find in the back seat of a used car"
"2 people answered - A severed hand"

Because, upon having tried it, we found that it was not, in fact, romantic.

I think we can assume that people who didn't put the faucet thing near the top have never actually tried it.

A lot of things represented as Really Romantic only seem so because you haven't looked at the logistics of the matter. This tub business apparently is one of them.

Making love under the stars in a meadow — well, I defer to Brad Paisley:

'Cause I'd like to see you out in the moonlight
I'd like to kiss you way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you through a field of wildflowers
and I'd like to check you for ticks
