Line Of The Month
"It is traditional for the best man to extol the virtues of the bride and then introduce her to the darker side of her new husband’s history, with which she may be unfamiliar. With that in mind, I’d like to start by addressing Paul’s fondness for being called “the Daddy.”"

Lines For This Week
"With the Olympics nearly upon us, I’ve being trying to find an appropriate sporting metaphor for today’s proceedings, and I think I’ve got one … A new wife is like an Olympic velodrome; all sleek curves and the promise of dreams fulfilled. But remember, Phil, all too many Olympic velodromes are woefully underused after the initial excitement has passed. Indeed, many fall into disrepair and are eventually redeveloped as community function halls or mid-priced venues for corporate receptions. Don’t let that happen to Sarah."
