The Fireworks Argument

A guy and his wife were watching fireworks on the Fourth of July. Every time a big one went off, she jumped and grabbed his arm.
After the grand finale she said, “That was beautiful… but you know what would make it better? If you were more romantic like you used to be.”
He sighed and answered, “Honey, on Independence Day, I celebrate freedom. That includes the freedom to sit quietly, drink beer, and not have to explain why I’m not writing you poetry while explosions are going off overhead. Even the Founding Fathers took a break from their wives to sign the Declaration.”
