    Default Marriage

    Marriage is a story of three rings - engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering.

    Marriage is like a besieged fort. Those that are out try to get in and those that are in try to get out.

    Marriage is the price men pay for sex and sex is the price woman pay for marriage.

    In sexual life there is no donour or recepient, both claim to be recepients.
    A joke reagrding the selection of one's bride:

    A nurse would always say 'take it easy',
    a telephone operator 'hold on',
    it is only the teacher say 'do it all over again'.

    Cupid, blind God of love : Kid with wings holding bow and an arrow.
