Learn to prioritise or learn to live without each other
The two lovers are locked in argument: she accusing, he protesting. They've been at it for well over twenty minutes already, words flying back and forth as they sit on the bench. Dan intervenes:
Oi, would you pair can it for a minute? There are more important things at stake than your relationship. Here's the situation: I'm on 116, Mike's on 106. He just sent his first ball down the gutter. Unless he knocks down all ten pins on this, his final ball, I will be the champion.
OK, as you were Mike. No pressure.
Mike gives the ball a good heave, but it's off centre and only a select few pins go down. Dan is champion. Within two minutes the lovers are at each other's throats again.
