Dear, I can't believe we finally got invited to one of Caligula's dinner parties! We have finally arrived!

Hun, there's just one I think as my wife you should know about . . .

If Incitatus is there, be careful what you say...don't suggest he resembles John Kerry.

From Suetonius' Life of Caligula:

"...there was hardly any woman of distinguished family he did not make advances to. Most of them he invited to dinner, along with their husbands...Then, as often as he felt like it, he would leave the dining room, having called to him whichever woman he found most attractive. Not long afterwards he would return, making no attempt to conceal the signs of his recent sexual activity, and would offer criticism or praise of his partner, listing in detail the good or bad features of her body and her sexual performance."
