“But you’re saying a foot massage don’t mean nothing, and I’m saying it does. Now look, I’ve given a million ladies a million foot massages, and they all meant something. We act like they don’t, but they do, and that’s what’s so [bleeping] cool about them. There’s a sensuous thing going on where you don’t talk about it, but you know it, she knows it…”

- Vincent, Pulp Fiction (1994)

Man, it’s hard to picture Samuel L. Jackson (in the role of Jules) saying the word “nookie” with a straight face (as in “Nookie, M___F____, do you grok it?”), but if the man can pull off Snakes on a Plane, then I wouldn’t put it past him.  In a study of more than two thousand twins conducted at Kings College (London), the twin who scored higher on an array of emotional aptitude questions was having, at least empirically, better (or at least more successful) sex.  Apparently, one place where being a know-it-all, or at least intuitively clueful and attentive, comes in very handy is behind the Do Not Disturb sign.

Feel free to make your own “Strategy Guide” jokes here. They’re probably just as good as the ones I’ve had to delete because we run a PG (or at least PG-13) site around these parts.
