Marriage inspectors need time

Now that thousands of gay and lesbian couples have gotten hitched in the United States in the last few weeks, it's just a matter of time before we see what damage these unholy unions will do to existing, traditional marriages. President George W. Bush says concrete evidence of gay marriages undermining regular marriages is probably already out there; it's just a question of finding it.

--SNIP--
The inspectors have been searching for any marriages that have been threatened by the flurry of same-sex weddings. Among the things they're on the alert for:

--Men shouting out the name "Carson!" during moments of intimacy.

--An increase in the number of husbands who are able to say, honestly, that they've noticed when their wives have experimented with a new eye shadow.

--Husbands and wives going door to door, gathering signatures on a petition to bring back Rosie O'Donnell's talk show and give her Boy George musical Taboo another chance.

--Women being hounded by their husbands to help them rearrange the furniture in the living room.

While the inspectors have failed to turn up any of these things so far, they've made a few disturbing discoveries. These include a drop in the frequency of sexual encounters between men and women who've been married for several decades; men becoming less attentive to their wives while at the same time showing an increased interest in watching male-dominated activities, like football, basketball and right-wing talk shows; and guys who can never remember anniversaries or birthdays.

There is a suspicion, however, that these particular activities may pre-date the spike in same-sex marriages.
