here is the wisdom of the Old Testament
the truth of the New Testament
the rationale of the bride price
the secret of Jeffery Eugenedies
and the absurdity of that song "i'm going to marry her anyway"
when you meet the girl of your dreams
she'll make you meet her father
you'll find out what he does for a leaving
whatever he does will be exactly what you will never do for a living
14 years hard work? 2 wives? tradition? ok.
if tradition or hard work is not your thing
consider a life of celibacy and endless prayer
propose instead an addendum to the old religion
surround yourself with 12 other men
die for it
"sumitomo?"
"ten million?"
"she's not your type. there are other, more beautiful women in a neighboring village who are much more suitable for a man of you. how is it said? a man of you means, i mean. ahem. a man as fine as you. i mean. ahem. a man if your caliber."
you'll hear what he has to say and he'll see what you look like the two of you will simultaneously think no fucking way on earth or heaven or hell is this going to happen if she kills herself i could care less how she does it is up to her diabolical minds think alike i think i finally understand magnetism and opposites attract is only half the story why did the compass lead me here oh that's right magnetism
sing! choir-boy mother-fucker! sing!
