If a man comes home at midnight after a night of heavy drinking and sneaks into the house as quietly as possible, creeps to the bathroom to get ready for bed, and then enters the bedroom slowly, taking care not to disturb anyone, his wife will turn on the lights and begin to question him shrilly as to where he has been and just generally begin a recrimination session lasting an hour or more.
But if the man roars into the driveway, puts on the parking brake, honks the horn and races the engine a few times, storms into the house and then the bedroom, begins removing his clothes and shouts, "Hey, baby, daddy's home and needs some lovin'," his wife will pretend she is asleep.
