POTATO

You know how some people just miss the point?

Today as I was thinking about the whole sadness of divorces and breakups and children caught in the crossfire, I found myself thinking about marriage itself; what it means to people and how easy it must be to just miss the point.

I don't want to get all theological about it. Other people have far more eloquent things to say about what marriage is and what it isn't. As a single man and distant observer of marriage, I think of myself as much more of an astronomer than an astronaut. I know what I know, but some things you can only work out by going there for yourself.

Nonetheless, on my travels through the Internet, I found a story which might just be the strangest case of missing the point that I have ever seen. I should point out two things: 1. I am not suggesting that the point of marriage is sex. 2. The last sentence is a special kind of odd.

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you: probably the weirdest thing you'll read today.
