Marrying Yourself May Seem A Satisfying Answer

Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

Sometimes I listen to Coast2Coast late night show on Streamlink the next day. This morning I heard George Norry reading yesterday's strange news of a thirty-nine year old man in China who has married himself--a life size foam cutout of himself wearing a woman's bridal dress, to be specific. Apparently, he was expressing his dissatisfaction with reality. Hmmmm, causes one to wonder if wedding planning is any easier in his Marry Yourself reality? Does the bride/groom argue with himself about the guest list, color of the attendants' dresses or tuxes, chicken or beef, live band or DJ?

We're given these fascinating strange news bits that can get us all stirred up, but there's rarely any follow up information. What happened after that--whatever that was? In this case, wouldn't you love to ask the newly married man:
"How's married to yourself life treating you?"
"Any plans for children?"
"If you divorce, who gets what?"
"Before you jumped into this, wouldn't it have been easier to get back on the medication or the booze and find a nice girl who's equally dissatisfied with reality and interested enough in alternative lifestyles to hook up with you--wherever you are?"

See, there are interesting questions inquiring minds want to know, but so seldom get answers to. Hey, now I realize I'm dissatisfied with this reality, too. Think I'll go express my dissatifaction at Tully's coffee shop and buy myself a tall, extra hot, nonfat cocoa with whip and a drizzle of caramel. That's a tasty reality that satisfies me every time.
