It sometimes helps to go in person to banks, because it's harder to say "no" to someone who's right across the desk from you.

Unlike inferior primates, we have it down to a science. One sign of a devoted partner: One of you needs to fart while in bed. The farter forewarns the fartee of the need at the earliest possible moment, turns a minimum of 90 degrees away (optimally, 180) from the fartee, does the deed, and flaps it out his or her side of the bed. That's when one knows that one has a winner, si man.
