He keeps asking me to go camping.

Do you wanna go camping?  Summertime is so romantic.
(No. It is 100 degrees and the air conditioning doesn't work)
Do you wanna go camping right now?  Being spontaneous is so romantic.
(No. The last time we went on Sunday we couldn't find a source for parts to get
us home until Monday.)
Do you wanna go camping?  The snow is so romantic.
(No. It is ten below and the heater doesn't work)
Do you wanna go camping?  The rain is so romantic.
(No. The skylight is leaking)
Do you wanna camp right here?  This place looks so romantic.
(The clutch just quit.)
Do you wanna go camping?  I love you.
(Well, maybe... we haven't had sex in the van for weeks)
