An Ancient Greek Quote about Marriage

Guys,

Someone on the F*cked Company thread about marriage posted a link to what the Ancient Greeks had to say about women & holy matrimony. While I'll be posting more of these in the near future, I thought I'd whet your appetite with a quick, quotable quote:

Hipponax, On Women, c. 580 BCE
Two happy days a woman brings a man: the first, when he marries her; the second, when he bears her to the grave.

Sounds like the man KNEW what he was talking about. Fellas, if you value your life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, then you will NOT get married! Until next time...

I can testify to this.

Marriage is incredibly stupid. If you are a man and you get married, you pretty much lose all your friend.

You can't smoke pot whenever you want anymore. You can't jerk off to porn whenever you want anymore. And yes, porn is actually far more satisfying than sex with a real woman.

You lose so much freedom in so many ways.

I am kicking my own ass every single fucking day for being fucking stupid enough to get married.

Maybe I should BLOW MY FUCKING HEAD OFF? Haha just joking.

JR,

Them's POWERFUL words from a man who admittedly found a good girl to marry...

Sorry, I was drunk.

Can't smoke pot anymore, can't jerk off to porn anymore, but can still get drunk and act a damn fool.

Incredible.

I think your wife should take a hint and let you go back to getting stoned, dude. From what I understand, marijuana isn't an intoxicant to the extent that alcohol is. Doesn't destroy your brain cells, either.

JR,

Your reply reminded me of a former coworker. Like me, he was a Navy vet. When I asked him if he'd ever been married, he quipped, "never got that drunk!"
