Marital Incentives

Yes, it happened during another horrible study session. We were all exhausted and brain-fried. "What are the different types of party incentives?" one fruit loop quizzed the group. Several loops exhibited signs of disinterest, disgust, and utter despair. Who cares about incentives? But one brave loop spoke up: "Solidary Incentives!" This seemed to turn a lightbulb on for another of the loops, who bounced up and down with excitement. "I know this one!" she exclaimed. "Dun-da-da-da, dun-da-da-duh..." she hummed, before pausing and surveying each of our quizzical expressions, an expectant look on her face. "Guys!" she impatiently declared, "Marital incentives!" The room ERUPTED into hysterical laughter. Gasping for breath between howls, another loop made the correction: "It's material incentives, not marital incentives." Defeated and embarrassed, the errant fruitloop shook her head... and burst into laughter with the rest of us.
