The Shortest Marriage(s) Ever

Just a few days ago, a newly wed couple from Poland had an argument shortly after cutting the cake at their wedding reception and left the party to seek an annulment. Could this be the shortest marriage on record? Perhaps. I suppose it will depend on how quickly an annulment is granted... if they even qualify for one. But at least this couple is in good company. Robin Givens ended her marriage to Svetozar Marinkovic (who?) on the same day. Did he need a green card or something? Zsa Zsa Gabor's marriage to Felipe De Alba was a twenty-four hour deal, ruled illegitmate because Zsa Zsa was still technically married to Michael O’Hara. This will teach you all to double-check that the ink on your divorce papers is actually dry. Britney Spears taught us that you can get divorced in Las Vegas as quickly as you can get married, when she ended her fifty-five hour marriage to Jason Alexander. And who could forget Drew Barrymore's short-lived marriage (28 days) to Jeremy Thomas? You can read about the Polish couple here. Aren't you glad to see that the sacred institution of marriage is being taken so seriously?

Well, as long as none of them were same-sex couples then the sanctity of the institution has been upheld. Right?

And, with the expectation of incurring the wrath of the fairer members of this little group:

Women are like socks; you should change them every day.

DUCK & COVER :ahhh:

I personally don't care who gets married to whom. We make such a big deal out of it in the "civilized" world, that it must be a man and a woman. Yet in other cultures it's not unheard of for children to wed, or for people to marry inanimate objects to bring luck to a village. Why should it be any of our business if Fred wants to marry George, or if Rex wants to marry Fluffy the hamster.

Check out the YouTube video of Garfunkle and Oates Sex with Ducks.
They are two of my favorite comedians. Any Scrubbes fans will recognize Kate "Oates" Micucci.
