If times get tough, he can sell a little of his wife’s tail.

[It’s a tradition going back centuries.]
So were the traditional ritual sacrifices that were made to appease their god. They need JESUS.

What you’re not getting is that he isn’t actually marrying a crocodile.
It’s symbolic.

Symbolic of what?

If you read past the headline you would know what it’s symbolic of.

I read the article. These ‘traditions’ a much like the ones in New Orleans - all stem from dark belief systems. It is a creepy tradition.

People just don’t respect the institution anymore.

It’s been going on for 100s of years.

This gives “until death do us part,” a whole new meaning.

I think this story is a crock. /sarc

Is it just symbolic, or is it a legally binding “marriage”, as official as the gay ceremonies we are required by law to pretend are real.
