: Sharing. In the movie "League of Our Own," the traveling scout dropped off the new recruits at the ballfield. He said he was going home for a shower, a meal and to give the wife a "pickle tickle." Then he was on the road again.

Groucho Marx described the archtype of movie plots: Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Girl gets boy into pickle. Boy gets pickle into girl.
