re: #340 Quoth the raven, Covfefe.

My father-in-law granted me permission conditional on having a Bible study with him every week, which I was fine with. It was uncomfortable, but I knew I could survive it for the length of time required (it was like 1-2 months) and the reward of getting to marry his gorgeous, crazy smart, and ferocious youngest girl. The funny thing is, even after the incident with the speech, I was still the favorite son-in-law.

I put them through hell— a penniless Yankee draftee, college dropout, Catholic. (He had already tried to get me busted for dropping her out of airplanes.) We settled in to 40 years playing Archie and Meathead. Things got cool after the second or third kid.
