Another possibility for niche businesses ---egg timers:


She was standing in the kitchen, preparing our usual soft-boiled eggs and toast for breakfast, wearing only the t-shirt that she normally slept in.   As I walked in, almost awake, she turned to me and said softly, "You've got to make love to me this very moment."

My eyes lit up and I thought, "I am either still dreaming or this is going to be my lucky day." Not wanting to lose the moment, I embraced her and then gave it my all…. right there on the kitchen table.

Afterwards she said "Thanks" and returned to the stove.

Happy, but a little puzzled, I asked, "What was that all about?"

She said, "The egg timer's broken."
