Love is in the air
It's a big week of marriages. If you read the lighter part of the papers, you've seen the mass marriages that were going on on the first day of 2006. I skipped a reception on Monday to nurse my runny nose, but that doesn't exempt me from attending Friday's dinner in Ampang, and the Johor Bahru one on Friday night.
On Tuesday, Eric confirmed with another friend that we'll be attending her wedding somewhere around February.
And then I've got a close friend getting hitched in April, plus the one in California that I won't be able to attend sometime in June/July (no money to fly overseas lah, go figure). After that there's a sure-have-to-go dinner in November, and I expect a few more cards in the letterbox waiting to squeeze me dry (oh yes, one wedding a year is fine, but several times in a single year does not do justice to my pockets).
But never mind that. Elsewhere, love is blooming. A woman marries a dolphin.
Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.
In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin.
Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.
Bizarre or not?
The way the world is turning out now. WEIRD.

I came to that conclusion about the world when I was 5 and found out that humans did not spontaneously exist, but rather squeezed out of a slimy, bloody birth canal. With a plug attached our tummies.
Now I think the world is just mostly stupid.
Especially when you get sick and talk like a chipmunk. Get well soon.

I guess she resorted to this because she couldn’t find any human worth loving. But who am I to say.

they may interpret the dolphin’s plunge as “yes I do” but maybe what is in the dolphin’s mind was
“i plunge in with the human, i get fish… fish… fish is good~~!”

It’s a pretty sad world when we are forcing animals into marriages without their consent.
Now the poor dolphn has to vaccumm, do the washing up, wash the clothes … and drive the kids to school! How is he supposed to do that!!! … I see a divorce looming!
Anyone who wants to come to my wedding needs to help me find a girl stupid enough … I mean desperate enough … I mean nice enough to marry me. [Darn, I think I stuck my foot in it again!] What I meant was a nice girl. [Phew, that covers that!]
Kurt - Mostly stupid? I think you mean completely stupid
(Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side - that’s a song)
