Unfortunately, there are no pictures of the newlyweds currently available. I'm sure, however, that they'll be very happy together.

I heard that they're planning a week-long cruise along the Upper Nile.

I think this is a case of 'Why marry the goat when you can shag its a-hole for free?', but it didn't work out quite as planned for the groom-to-be.

I think the Council of Elders made a wise and just decision that will restore harmony in the community.

There are no using goats as your wife in Korea.


Using goats as a wife is illegal.

I don't know, but I met a guy in college who said sheep are better than pigs. Like an idiot, I asked why.

















Because you can hold on to a sheep better. Shocked


Fortunately, he was from Missouri and not Iowa.
