When Colleen and I were first married there was an earthquake that happened about three in the morning. It sounded like a freight train and really shook our house. We both woke up and Colleen said "My God! We're having an earthquake!"

I said, "Cool!"

She asked, "Shouldn't we do something like stand in a doorway?"

I said, "Go ahead if you want to, I'm going back to sleep."

She was incredulous, "How can you just go back to sleep after we just had an earthquake?

I said "Like this." and I rolled over and went back to sleep.

When I woke up half an hour later, Colleen was shaking me awake. She stayed up for half an hour just fuming at me for not taking an earthquake seriously. We talked for another hour and finally she saw a little humor in the situation. This meant I could go back to sleep.

Sometimes I can be such a male.
