I can't image anything more awful than polygamy.

Who would have it worse, the wives or the Mittster?

As a wife, I wouldn't mind having another wife--if she cleans, does laundry, cooks, and gives the cats their baths. When she's done with her daily chores, I'm not sure she will have enough energy for shagging. So, hubby and I can snuggle on the couch while she turns in early to get her rest. Cool

So, let me see, first the husband would marry the woman who loves to do housework and then you. Got it.

I just checked. That woman is listed under MYTHICAL CREATURES.


maybe there could be a job chart on the fridge.

Monday Lala housework Momo shag ChiChi wash cats
Tuesday Momo housework Lala shag ChiChi paint house.
Wednesday Chichi shag Momo wash cats Lala Housework

Oh, and as I understand the practice amongst the practictioners, it's a strictly a one at a time deal. No three-on-a-match sessions, which I personally have always found to be fun but exhausting, now when you get to four on one---- well, I believe they might have found the limits of mortal man.

Reminds me of this Republican candidate for the 2006 senate who had a Jewish father, and who kept marvelling about his mother's delicious pork sandwitches. He ran somewhere in the South-East, perhaps Virginia. What was his name again?

Personally, I know at least four women I'd enjoy being in a polygamous marriage with. I don't see what's afwul about it. I also feel passionately that the case for polygamous and polyandrous marriage is strong -- exactly as strong as the case for gay marriage.

And the cool thing is, nobody can call you a sexist for saying this. Polygamy rules!

Could you imagine the makeup sex after an argument?

It would definitely be too much work if I was the husband, as my favorite cardinal sin is sloth. Also, I'd be worried about all those after-sex cigarettes in the bedroom.

If people also practiced polyandry -- one wife, several husbands -- I don't see why that would be a problem.

... and by the way, polygamy is possible today, judging by the many polygamous marriages existing without legal recognition.

Thomas, you clearly never have been married, or you wouldn't say this.

What? They would just come knocking on your door?
Or would they have to phone first?
Or would you be the one to coyly call one of the four(?) and ask that they have a look at your dishwasher?

Maybe, on some special occasions you could have two (three?) of the bunch bring some snacks and a couple of DVDs.

Lovely.

And they would be free to pub around after work with other lost boys.

Welcome Blanche.

Polygamy is illegal in the United States too, but there are many instances where it is practiced. Most people I think have heard about some of the more reclusive Mormon sects, but may not be familiar with the African Muslim communities in New York City, Philadelphia and scattered cities in New Jersey revealing that having more than one wife is part of the norm for them.

In one recent, tragic, incident a woman and several small children died in a fire and the New York media had to report that she was one of two wives of the grieving father.

Never mind all the wives. This is 2007 and I could use a few husbands.


Fair is fair and since it's been over 8 years since.... well....you know, I think I should be entitled to 2 husbands at least until I catch up.

Well (blushes)...I once DID have four fellas at the same time...


Nothing was actually negotiated, but they just seemed to fall into a pattern naturally.


People are clever like that.

Shocked

bunny has done it again! I am speechless (busy with envy and vivid imagination)

I think I would like four husbands. As in polygamous marriages, the first one would be the senior one, sort of an Office Coordinator, if you will. He would manage the household. The 2nd and 3rd would be gay. They would cook, clean, cut fresh flowers, look after my garderobe, go shopping with me, take care of the dogs...that sort of a thing. The fourth one would be a young brainless pretty thingy to play with.
