Ulterior motive, huh? I guess my first question wasn't worded quite right. Perhaps it should have been "What provokes you to ask this question at a particular time?"

That's part of the confusion I get with this question; it seems to have an uncanny ability to show up at a bad time. It makes sense to be asked what you're thinking while staring at a wall of home theater options, thoughtfully stroking your chin. But just lying in bed at the end of a long day, blankly staring at nothing in particular, seems to pique most women's curiosity. Is there some look on a man's face that motivates the questioning? Does a man happen to be relaxing the mind at times and in situations that heighten a woman's curiosity? (I know I'm generalizing men and women here, maybe there's some other characteristic that more accurately distinguishes the askers from the askees.)
