  Read the paragraph below...   and try to understand the meaning.   Then look for the answer below. Test yourself first. 'Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. 'One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently, the second member of the team performed self-rotational translation, orientated in the same direction taken by the first team member.' ANY GUESSES WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT???

Sacha Gui try ********* After marriage, husband and wife become two sides of a coin; they just can't face each other, but still they stay together. Hemant Joshi ********* By all means marry. If you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates ********* Woman inspires us to great things, and prevents us from achieving them. Dumas ********* The great question.... Which I have not been able to answer... Is, "What does a woman want? Sigmund Freud ********* "I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years." Sam Kinison ********* "There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage." James Holt McGavran ********* "I've had bad luck with both my wives. The first one left me, and the second one didn't." Patrick Murray ********* The most effective way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once... Anonymous ********* You know what I did before I married? Anything I wanted to. Henny Youngman ********* My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met. Rodney Dangerfield ********* A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong. Milton Berle ********* Marriage is the only war where one sleeps with the enemy.
