P C Two

Pursuant to the California Supreme Court legalizing gay marriage, the license forms were reprinted to identify the participants as Party A and Party B, thus eliminating the Bride and Groom designations. Of course, they could have retained both forms, and that would be sensible, but not politically correct. One traditional couple has already refused to be designated A and B, and their altered form was rejected by their county clerk. Fortunately, they were still able to marry, because the bride's father is a minister, and they were wed in his church, the only place nuptials should be celebrated, anyway.

This gives us the opportunity to ponder the following short drama:

[Two persons contemplating marriage are confronted with the new form.]

Person 1: Which of us is Party A?

Person 2: I think I should be Party A.

Person 1: You always think you're Party A.

Person 2: Do you want to be Party A?

Person 1: I don't care. If you want to be Party A, go ahead.

Person 2: You just want to start an argument, don't you?

Person 1: No, I told you to be Party A, if you want.

Person 2: Sure, and then you'll bitch about it all the way home.

Person 1: Well, you won't have to hear it, because I'm leaving now.

[A door slams.]
