A lot of my friends are getting married lately. I guess the economic downturn is doing wonders for the whole matrimony business. Nearly all of them are women….and the day week month after, they are all about showing off their rings, how much it cost their poor fiance to buy them, how big the ‘rock’ is, Oooh! Shiny-Shiny-Shiny, etc. Stark contrast than what newly-engaged guys talk about “the day after”: how much the ring cost, how long its going to take to pay it off, whether or not the ‘wife” will still be around long enough for the ring to get paid off, prenuptials, etc.

On my way home, I saw this advertisement at a bus stop and honestly I couldn’t help but laugh.
