Man Marries Dog For Luck - Then Dies
<snip>

A 75-year-old man in Nepal married a dog in a local custom to ensure good luck only to die three days later, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

With his son and other relatives by his side, Phulram Chaudhary tied the knot with a dog Saturday in Durgauli village in the southwestern Kailali district.

He was following a custom of his Tharu community which holds that an old man who regrows teeth must take a dog as a bride.

12. Or, "No More Dogs' Behinds" Act
...if you read the thread from yesterday, dogs just walk waaayyyy too sexily for some people to be able to resist. We must help them with a "No More Dogs' Behinds" Act, or maybe a 12-step program.

5. Maybe if he hadn't married the dog, he'd have lived only 1 more day.
So maybe he got 2 extra days. Lucky, huh? :D

7. Can you imagine getting to heaven though?
St. Peter sitting there saying "Ya know! You were doing great right up until you married that dig. You have no idea how hard it is for me to say this to people...."

8. He's not white and Republican...
...so he's probably not headed to heaven anyway.
