Phone rings at the mortuary; "Pleasant memories Funeral Services, may I help you?" Voice at other end, sobbing, "This is Mr Jones, I... I need to make funeral arrangements for my wife." "Mr Jones, If I'm not mistaken, we burried your wife eight months ago." "I... I Got remarried..." "You did? Hey! Congratulations!" Might splain it.
I was thinking more along the lines of "narcissism". I've known some people who wouldn't be satisfied with anyone less fabulous than themselves, and given the legal opportunity to wed, they would have lived happily ever after with themselves.
either mormons, or inter species....Bahhhhty does not come up as "people"
ReplyDeleteDangit. Jesse beat me to it. I was gonna reply "Mormons".

As I understand it, the Mormon church doesn't really condone polygamy anymore. There was that judge who OK'd a 3-person civil union, though.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, that really should be an even number...
The Mormon Church doesn't condone polygamy and hasn't since the 1890's.

ReplyDeleteThere's probably a few sheep involved here.
ReplyDeleteAs in "Go fuck yourself." taken to the logical end?
