Not a Queen Victoria Fanboy
I volunteered to distribute Dog Costume Contest posters for the upcoming Weekend of Wallkill (code name: WoW), so I spent a large portion of yesterday driving to vets & other pet-related biznesses in the villages of Walden, Pine Bush, Walker Valley, Montgomery, & Gardiner

I just looked it up. Dog diapers here in the States is a $450-million market. 😀

“-and it made her ramble, you know? She’d keep telling me these involved stories about people I didn’t know and didn’t care about, so finally, I just told her, You know I don’t really care about your stories. I don’t know any of those people. And she completely shut down. The rest of the weekend was a disaster!”
Iggy really did not comprehend what was bad about this behavior! Evidently, he hadn’t read the fine print in the sexual contract.
You know what's funny is, I'm always tempted to do just that if I'm in a social situation with Charles and everyone is droning on and on about subjects I don't know or care about (and they don't seem to notice or care how bored and left-out I feel).

I know it was something said to soldiers to stay focused/keep their head in the game when they had to endure suffering. (I didn't know it had to do with sex. Maybe it was to dissuade them from screwing the local gals in whatever country they were stationed in?).

No, it very specifically references unwanted sexual attentions from one's husband. Attributed to Queen Victoria-though it's unlikely she ever said it. Her diaries reveal that Queen Victoria was quite the vixen between the sheets.
