My primary concern with being granted tenure is living with an insanely jealous roommate after the fact. I might need to sleep with a gun under my pillow. Or a chainsaw.
- Raj
You two should be ashamed of yourselves. Using women to advance your cause with sexuality, and whatever Amy plans on doing.
- Sheldon
Are you implying that my girlfriend has no sexuality to exploit?

Well, yes, of course, he wouldn’t like that at all. Last night, I was feeling in need of sexual release when I happened to come across your mother.

Should have taken my breasts out while I had the chance.
