Two men are having a chat at their local when the topic gets round to marriage.
‘What I don’t understand is the bit where the vicar says, “If anyone objects to this marriage” and so on. I mean, what’s the point of it? No one ever objects.’
‘Not true. I objected at a wedding once.’
‘You didn’t!’
‘I did indeed. I said that the bridegroom was a drinker and a gambler. I said that he kept company with lewd women, that he had a violent temper, and would be a terrible provider.’
‘Oh my God! What did the groom say?’
‘I just told you.’
