When youget to me and the part where I’m to promise to ‚love, honor and obey’and ‚forsaking all others, be faithful to her forever,‘ I’d appreciateit if you’d just leave that part out.“ He passed the minister a $100bill and walked away satisfied.It is now the day of the wedding, and the bride and groom have moved tothat part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comestime for the groom’s vows, the pastor looks the young man in the eye and says, „Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and swear eternally before God and your lovely wife that you willnot ever even look at another woman, as long as you both shall live?“The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, „I do.“Then, he leaned toward the pastor and hissed, „I thought we had a deal.“The pastor put the $100 bill into his hand and whispered back, „She mademe a much better offer.“
