THE HEROIN WEDDING

Humor by Lonnie Hodge

HEROIN WEDDING IN JAPAN

Courtesy of a VERY funny site ENGRISH.COM comes what could be the mellowest wedding in history.

Take a look at the caption and then to sober you up, look at the price tag. Of course, this is not too bad considering your friends foot the bill: if you get invited (cringe) to a Japanese wedding you are told how much you are expected to "give" to the couple. This helps fund the elaborate weddings that reach pretty easily over $100,000 Us Dollars.

Many Chinese, on the other hand, have a great dinner with the family and then head for the courthouse to register the marriage. It is easier even than getting hitched in Vegas at an Elvis drive-through chapel.

This "heroin wedding" doesn't rise to the level of one of my favorites, but it is good: I once saw a sign at a temple in Japan that asked you to "ring the bell and crap three times" to get your petition granted by the gods.

I bet they make a fortune on bran sales.
