I would like to respond to the many questions which have been raised
about love, marriage, and the legal system.  

Before my wife, Wendy, and I were married we drew up a series of legal
documents specifying our responsibilities to each other down to the smallest
details.  These documents, drawn up by the law firm of Tinkerbell,
Tinkerbell, and Tinkerbell, spell out how our relationship will continue
throughout time.  Primary among our responsibilities to each other is the
promise that neither of us will ever change or grow old.

Now I know what you are thinking, "You've tried that before and look what
happened, now you are both Young Professionals!"  That episode was ages ago,
when we were just kids making promises in front of a silly fairy.  Now we
are making our promises in writing and on file with a famous law firm.  New
advances in technology, made by Hook Data Inc., San Jose, will allow us to
monitor each other constantly to see that we are not violating our
contracts.  

With a marriage rooted firmly in Technology and the American Legal System,
how can we fail?

P. S.  Can anyone tell me what that ticking noise is?
