Cutting a deal

During the wedding rehearsal, the groom approached the vicar with an unusual
offer. "Look, I�ll give you $100 if you�ll change the wedding vows. When you get
to me and the part where I�m to promise to �love, honor and obey� and �forsaking
all others, be faithful to her forever,� I�d appreciate it if you�d just leave
that part out."
He passed the clergyman the cash and walked away satisfied.


It is now the day of the wedding, and the bride and groom have moved to that
part of the ceremony where the vows are exchanged. When it comes time for the
groom�s vows, the vicar looks the young man in the eye and says:
"Will you promise to prostrate yourself before her, obey her every command and
wish, serve her breakfast in bed every morning of your life and swear eternally
before God and your lovely wife that you will not ever even look at another
woman, as long as you both shall live?"


The groom gulped and looked around, and said in a tiny voice, "Yes�.
The groom leaned toward the vicar and hissed, "I thought we had a deal."


The vicar put the $100 into his hand and whispered back, "She made me a much
better offer�.
