Polygamy?

[vernon]

If you have multiple parrots are you polygamous?

And if they all died would they be a polygon?

OK, I'm almost certainly (and not for the first time) taking this thread too seriously. But a week or two ago, I got in a mild argument on a different hread about whether casual sexism/borderline misogyny was more tolerated on these forums than racism. By my reckoning, humerous posts whose humour depends on denigrating women are outnumbering those whose humour depends on denigrating men by four to one so far on this thread.

You're probably right but is it just because there are more men than women on the forum?

Did anyone see the Channel 4 programme last night about polygamous famlies in USA?

OH was astounded by the idea. When he was married, he couldn't manage one wife, he says he can't understand how anyone would volunteer to take on two or three at a time!

The programme highlight for me was when one husband took out his two wives for a romantic meal. "Who's up for having the next baby?" he asked. "Pick me!" exclaimed the newest, young enthusiastic wife. "Yeah, pick her" mumbled the origional, less enthusiastic wife, tucking into her burrito.

The very idea makes me very very scared, I have enough problems trying to do as I'm told with one wife!

No.

No.

Ah. The definitive answer.

The right answer.
