- I tried to offer my services by email (since she said she doesn't read

- Anyone who reads talk.bizarre is entitled to one free* marriage, which can
- be made as legally binding as you like, provided you come to Hawaii to do
- it. The state of Hawaii doesn't recognize same-sex marriages, but I'll

- AND you get to be married by a Pope, a distinction few can claim.
- AND if you ask for a permanent marriage, you get my free sermon on how
- you should eschew wimpy liberal secular humanist divorces. Just stay
- married and fight like hell. One of my friends didn't let me perform his
- marriage, and he just broke up with his wife -- I say it's because he didn't
- get the sermon.
- Don't let this happen to your sister, Regina! Send her over here. By
- the way, does she or her boyfriend have a lot of money?
