Ten Commandments Of Marriage

[Bigaldoc]

Commandment 1.
Marriages are made in heaven. But so again, are thunder and lightning.

Commandment 2.
If you want your spouse to listen and pay strict attention to every word you say, talk in your sleep.

Commandment 3.
Marriage is grand -- and divorce is at least 100 grand!

Commandment 4.
Married life is very frustrating. In the first year of marriage, the man speaks and the woman listens. In the second year, the woman speaks and the man listens. In the third year, they both speak and the neighbors listen.

Commandment 5.
When a man opens the door of his car for his wife, you can be sure of one thing: Either the car is new or the wife is.

Commandment 6.
Marriage is when a man and woman become as one; the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

Commandment 7.
Before marriage, a man will lie awake all night thinking about something you said. After marriage, he will fall asleep before you finish talking.

Commandment 8.
Every man wants a wife who is beautiful, understanding, economical, and a good cook. But the law allows only one wife.

Commandment 9.
Every woman wants a man who is handsome, understanding, economical and a considerate lover, but again, the law allows only one husband.

Commandment 10.
Man is incomplete until he marries. After that, he is finished.

Far be it from me to be pedantic (!), but a commandment is an injunction. These are but cynical statements...

Ahhh, and in the context used in Big Al's offering and your reference to Injunction, I would certainly say there is a strong link!

Legal Dictionary

Main Entry: in·junc·tion
Pronunciation: in-'j&[ng]k-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle French injonction , from Late Latin injunction- injunctio , from Latin injungere to enjoin, from in- in + jungere to join
: an equitable remedy in the form of a court order compelling a party to do or refrain from doing a specified act —compare cease-and-desist order...
NOTE: An injunction is available as a remedy for harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law. Thus it is used to prevent a future harmful action rather than to compensate for an injury that has already occurred, or to provide relief from harm for which an award of money damages is not a satisfactory solution or for which a monetary value is impossible to calculate. A defendant who violates an injunction is subject to penalty for contempt.

Al, my wife and I really enjoyed your posting, particularly number six.

Far be it from me to be pedantic (!), but...

John, I didn't know that. I always thought it was for me.

[Bigaldoc]

SMILE John! It's meant to be funny, not grammatically correct!

Merry Christmas... and all that stuff...
