- The obvious answer is to have a SubGenius minister perform the ceremony.
- Not only are SubGenius ministers performers of equal-opportunity[*] marriages,
- but the term of marriage can be as short as you like, minutes or even SECONDS
- if necessary. Additionally, the required love offering will just about
- GUARANTEE the newly-weds a honeymoon suite on the pleasure saucers when the
- X-ists come (again and again!) in 1998 to foreclose the mortgage "Bob" took
- out on the planet Earth. You just CAN'T get a better deal than that.
