Very funny, Dr. Guy. I especially liked the one about the cows for a wife. Have you ever heard of the movie Johnnie Lingo? It was made back in the sixties or seventies by BYU, and it's all about some tribe on some island and Johnnie Lingo, who buys his childhood sweetheart from her father for 8 cows - more than any woman, ever! Hee hee! It's great for a laugh!
