Ideally, what I'd want from a marriage is a woman who is good at peeling fruit. Apples, oranges, pears...etc. Sometimes I even like my plums peeled.

Does anyone remember the episode of Airport where the American gentleman from Chicago told Heathrow security he had a machine gun in his violin case.

That resulted in a night in the cells, every airline at Heathrow refusing to carry him and a lot of hassle before we finally persuaded Air India to take him home to Chicago. He never did understand what had caused all the commotion.

Actually, I was thinking of Jimmy Soul's If You Want To Be Happy -- but the official lyrics seem to omit a line that I am certain was there!

Getting married achieves the right to moan constantly at your spouse

... and to be moaned at ...

Also, if the OP is planning on making lots of money after he is married he should be aware that California is a community property state.
