I nearly fell down laughing.
This is the same man who swore he'd never get married, would not have
children and would stay a bachelor all his life so he could spend his
summers the way he wanted to spend them.
Famous last words...
Toby Edmondson (a few of you know him) fell out of his boat, dislocated his
knee and suffered a concussion. The boat was parked, in his words, at the
golf course.
He reports - I thought the wife was being WONDERFUL. She has waited on me
hand and foot. Problem is, I found a LIST of everything she has done for me.
She is KEEPING TRACK!! Oh Payback Time is gonna be a (word deleted)! lol

For those without email access, a sample from Phil Callaway's chain letter
proposal.
Dear Ramona Bjorndal,
Do not throw away this letter! It was started by my ancestors just after The
Great Flood and it's NEVER BEEN BROKEN! To keep the chain going, all you
have to do is marry me. This will include providing decent meals, clean
laundry, and lots of love for the next 60 years. In return, you will receive
my undying devotion, occasional flowers, chocolate, and access to my car
keys until death do us part. If you break the chain, you'll be destined to
live a life of misery and boredom, much like the math class I'm sitting in
now.
It was pretty clever stuff for a tenth grader, I thought, and four years
later, when I summoned the courage to show it to her, she laughed. And
agreed to marry me anyway.

The child was a typical four-year-old girl -- cute, inquisitive, bright as a
new penny. When she expressed difficulty in grasping the concept of
marriage, her father decided to pull out his wedding photo album, thinking
visual images would help. One page after another, he pointed out the bride
arriving at the church, the entrance, the wedding ceremony, the recessional,
the reception, etc.
"Now do you understand?" he asked.
"I think so," she said, "is that when mommy came to work for us?"
...
Finally, some thoughts from those who see clearly.
How would the world be different if people didn't get married?
"There sure would be a lot of kids to explain, wouldn't there?" Kelvin, age

"You can be sure of one thing - the boys would come chasing after us just
the same as they do now." Roberta, age 7

running off to Vegas for a quick marriage will result in years of torment
