A Marriage Gone Wrong

Place: San Francisco California

Event: Marriage of [name redacted] to Xiao Ping

Also Present: Willy Brown, Mayor of San Francisco

Date: 1998

The marriage started following a stern warning I gave the groom. I said, "Don't do it!" My terms were far more strident, far more epithets were used, but you get the point.

Marrying a prostitute, even a successful prostitute is never a great idea. Marrying an insane prostitute is a downright BAD idea.

The groom, hereafter nameless, was scheduled to be released at the end of this month from the Nevada State Prison system where he has been doing hard time for allegedly setting fire to, and burning Xiao Ping's whorehouse. A penologist known to me advised that the date has been "bumped back" for unspecified reasons but the groom should taste freedom sometime in 2009.

I'm not saying that your friends are always right.

 

However Kipling was correct when he wrote, "Howsoever love be blind, the world at large hath eyes."
