Dude, after the marriage? Kinda late don’t ya think?’ Think you screwed the pooch, dude…..Look, just give her your wallet and get it over with…And, no, you will never get it back…Or is this the new step before getting engaged? Either way, just give her the wallet, man…
A cartoon by Michael Maslin (1/30/95) in “The New Yorker”: Young man to young woman, “Look, I’m not talking about a lifetime commitment. I’m talking about marriage.”
Before we got married, my husband sold his Porche and Jaguar, leaving us with my little English Ford Prefect. Guess he got screwed over then. However, we finally ended up well-off enough. Sorry you guys have had such bad times.
Wiley; I remember dimly something done by either Wally Wood or Jack Davis in MAD Magazine centuries ago that had the final panel with a gasped word; “s-s-satire!”Sure loosened a lot of dandruff trying to think what it was all about…….
Though I’m a bachelor, there’s one truism about marriage I’ve learned. The man is always wrong; even when he’s right he’s wrong. Fellow men, learn to accept that anything we do will be wrong in the eyes of that certain lady. Even if we win the lottery we’ll still have done something wrong (“Only $120 million? You could have gotten $121 million if you’d waited”). Suck it up, keep your head low, get used to saying, “I’m sorry, honey,” and grouse about your spouse where they can’t hear you. Or their friends can’t hear you. And family. And casual acquaintances. And coworkers. Okay, okay! Just suffer in silence because, somehow, they always find out. Maybe get an orbital lobotomy as well since some seem to be telepathic about criticism.
Right on. The apostle Paul had it right all along when he said, “It is good for a man not to marry.” But what I think he failed to mention was that Paul may have been a married man himself, but went through a brutal divorce.
Wow… first came the wedding bash… food and gifts… yeah.Then came the engagement bash also food and gifts…Yeah X2Now there is a pre-nuptual bash first, then the engagement bash then the wedding bash? yeah X3… Nothing more than another gift grab by the greedy x-gens.

And don’t take anything out of the wallet before you give it to her….It will just attract a bunch of lawyers….

When we got married , we had nothing but an old car to drive away in. No pre-nup needed.

Pre nup…..used to be because one had more assets than the other…..these days that’s even ground…..no one has anything!

Gary, yeah, you’re probably right. But don’t fault Wiley, I think he’s an educator at heart. We never give up….
