laugh and be merry
Got this off a friend's blog, who got it from The New Paper:Two middle-aged women dragged a young man before wise King Solomon, each asserting that he had promised to marry their own daughter. Solomon heard their pleas, then remembered a similar case some time ago.
"Cut the youth in two," he ordered. "since these ladies will not renounce their claims to him, and give half to each to be husband to their daughters."
The first woman was satisfied with the judgment, while the second woman immediately fell upon her knees and pleaded that she was willing to forsake her case and allow the young man to leave, whole and unharmed, with the other woman.
Whereupon, King Solomon immediately confirmed the verdict. "Young man, go with the first woman. She has proven that she is a true mother-in-law."
I thought it was hilarious.
A brief moment of happy insanity in the midst of sinking sand. It's that time of the semester.
