Can I be a soft-core porn star?

LA Times writer Joel Stein writes about his big chance to appear in a soft-core porn film.

excerpt:

Before I said yes, I told him I needed to ask my wife, Cassandra. Afraid of a fight, I wimpily text-messaged her. Less than a minute later, she wrote back: "Are you going to get naked and simulate sex? I'd like to see that."

I read this five times.

I couldn't figure out if it was a joke, or if she was turned on, or just didn't care. Was it, "I'd like to see that," as in "I'd like to see it over and over again when you're not home as a marital aid"? Or was it, "I'd like to see that," as in "I'd like to see that so I could show everyone your pathetic attempts at foreplay"?

Text messaging, I discovered, needs more emoticons.
