what day is it? tuesday?

when mitch in dave's body told the other guy (goodness you know what i mean) that he would sleep with his wife, ryan reynolds (the real dave) was like, "oh no no no", until he remembered it was tuesday.... then he was all, "yeah man, go for it, lol"... he didn't actually say lol but you get it...
what i want to know is, what was so special about it being tuesday? i thought it was like she was on her period or something, but all happened was she used the bathroom in front of him (quite loud and wet and off putting, yes), then he got mad for her bringing it "guns hot"... so, what was so special about tuesday that the real dave knew it wouldn't be a night for having sex?

i apologise in advance if it's sooooo obvious in the movie and i just missed that part...

It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality...

Tuesday was thai food night in the house, and she has the runs everytime after, so he knew he wouldn't want to have sex with her that night

That would make sense if we didn't just see them have chicken, mashed potatoes and vegetables on the table during the "dinner song" scene that evening before bed. So are we to assume she had Thai food for lunch?

VonFisch, right?!

I just had to assume that she ate a second dinner that was Thai, later on in the night. Weird girl.

Dave (in Mitch's body) suddenly remembered that Tuesday was the night that Mitch was expecting the insatiable Tatiana to come over.

Yeah I think that part was pretty seriously badly written. He is soo sure he's not going have sex with his wife because....he knew that his wife would take a *beep* at precisely that time... That's stupid. Not to mention that your friend still saw your wife completely naked head to toe. Not exactly something to laugh about Dave.

I think the joke was that the chances of having sex on a weekday was pretty slim.

Many of my married friends have told me, they're lucky if they get any on a weekend, but rarely during the week.

I'm assuming because you can't really get *beep* drunk during the week, and nobody wants to bang their old boring spouse sober.
