The following story is an excerpt from an interview with singer
Tom Jones published in the San Fransisco Examiner 2/12/89.
The interviewer asked Mr. Jones whether he ever has problems with
the husbands of the women who throw their underwear onto the stage
during his performances.
"One night a woman came down to the stage to retrieve an
undergarment and I gave her a big kiss. I asked her name,
and if she was married. She said 'yes' and pointed out
her husband at a nearby table. I explained to him that the
kiss was all in fun and that I hoped he hadn't taken offense.
He just smiled and said, 'Look, you pump up the tires, and
I'll ride the bike.'"
