This one came over the transom via the mil-email net…

  1. Hey Old NFO;

    LOL, Those are pretty good, and please don’t foist you and your bathrobe to the mailbox to your neighbors…they are such nice people, lol

  2. I know that the bit about 4,153,237 people getting married, and shouldn’t it be an even number, is a JOKE, and it’s funny, BUT!
    There is a practice called “Sologamy,” wherein a person gets married to themselves.
    Wikipedia article on sologamy states: “Self-marriage has become increasingly popular in the 21st century, especially among affluent women. As of 2014 a travel agency in Kyoto was offering self-marriage packages for women, with some customers being wives who were disattisfied with their original wedding. British photographer Grace Gelder’s self-marriage in 2014 and Italian fitness trainer Laura Mesi’s self-marriage in 2017 have been widely reported.”
    Evidently, some of the wedding ceremonies are complete with dresses, music, guests, and cake.
    I wonder about the wedding party, though. Is it considered gauche to have both groomsmen and bridesmaids, if there is only a groom? Or only a bride?
    And in filling out forms, do you write your own name in the ‘next-of-kin’ box?
    And if you don’t leave anything to yourself in the will, is that grounds for challenging the will?
    If you later decide it’s not working out: is a separation called for, or do you go straight to the divorce? I’ve heard people say “It got so bad, I couldn’t live with myself.” Is that grounds for divorce?
    What if after you marry yourself, you see somebody who is cute. Is asking the out for coffee cheating on yourself? If you fall in love with them, and want to marry them, do you have to divorce yourself first to avoid being a bigamist?
    If you marry yourself TWICE, does that make you an auto-bigamist?

  3. How about “You aren’t fat, you’re famine-resistant.” And harder to kidnap!

  4. Sooooo, THAT’S why J.C.Penney’s is closing all those stores!

  5. “-Relationships are a lot like algebra. Have you ever looked at your X and wondered Y?”

    That one’s easily explained – it’s all in the chromosomes!

    (yeah, it’s stretching the genes a bit far – sorry!)
