That would make your ex-wife your daughter-in-law.

Talk about revenge on the ex!

I'm a girl

How would I know which MYLF?

I can tell you which FILF, or even FILILF, but I don't know if I can tell you which MILYLF.

IMHGLO ;)

Both the Old and New Testament prohibit incestuous relations like this. In this case, a marriage (if one occurs) is not legitimate and should be ended.

There is no such instruction to burn the participants alive as the article asserts. It is very irresponsible for someone to publish statements supposedly from the Bible without bothering to check it out.

There was a good reason that this was made a law.

It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know,
But it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Now many, many years ago, when I was twenty-three,
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, and soon they, too, were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life,
My daughter was my mother, cause she was my father's wife.
To complicate the matter, even though it brought me joy,
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became a brother-in-law to Dad,
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad.
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widow's grown-up daughter, who, of course, was my stepmother.

Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run,
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughter's son.
My wife is now my mother's mother, and it makes me blue,
Because, although she is my wife, she's my grandmother, too.

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild,
And everytime I think of it, it nearly drives me wild,
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!

I'm my own grandpa.
I'm my own grandpa.
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so,
Oh, I'm my own grandpa.

Kind of a reverse Woody Allen thing, I guess.

No, that would make your ex-wife your step daughter.

Hey Paul -- my mother's maiden name is Ross, just so you know I'm not down on the Scots. I love shortbread, Robert Burns, Laphroaig, Toad In The Hole and wear my tartan tie with pride. But it's hard to stick up for marrying your mother in law. Or haggis, for that matter. Hoot mon.

I get it! After many years of marriage, I guess things can get dull if you're uncreative. If a man marries his invalid mother-in-law, then he can have kinky sex with his step-daughter downstairs. It's just a way to keep the bed fires burning...

Bill Wyman (whose ex-mother-in-law became his daughter-in-law!) wrote in his autobiography that he votes Consevative.

Are we certain this is not legal in the United States?

Actually the Scots gave us much more than food and musical instruments. Who formed the first modern nation? Who created the first literate society? Who invented the modern ideas of democracy and free market capitalism? The Scots! Check out "How the Scots invented the Modern World," by Arthur Herman. Our American society is rooted in scotish ideals.

OTOH if you married Chelsea, you could marry Hillary.

If that happened, he'd better off with the older punishment of being burned alive.
