Ah. It's time to tell my tale of the rooster plates. You see, back when 
we got married, my wife and I decided we'd build a kitchen theme around 
an old napkin holder handed down from her great grandmother. So, the 
rooster theme was born. Our kitchen and dining areas are all roosters. 
Anyway, we have these nice plates with (you guessed it) various breeds 
of rooster on them. If I carelessly set down my plate wrongly oriented, 
she goes berserk. The chicken must be right-side-up to me. So, I have 
now taken to purposefully placing my plate in various "wrong" positions. 
Most of the time she notices. I'm thinking of performing psychological 
experiments next: Increment the orientation of the plate by a few 
degrees each day, to find out what her threshold is ...
