The Catholic Church can hardly condemn it when they believe in a Holy
Trinity. And in many countries --such as China and India-- more boys
than girls are born due to the selection of gender. Two guys can bring
double the income while the wife walks the dog --or dogs, if each
husband has his own pet.
Having two wives too has its advantages. One can do the washing while
the other folds the clothing. Less work. And things may get more
interesting in bed, which would avoid cheating. Who will cheat after
having two wives?

You don't need to stretch to justify that at all. Traditional marriage
like we see in the Bible very frequently had men taking many wives. I
don't know if you can find any biblical basis for guy girl guy three
ways (unless you count the whore of Babylon I guess- but I don't think
you could really make a case FOR it with that.)

Odd that some consider the term vulgar when used in its proper context.

And the proper context is that Jesus rode an ass. The rest is up to
your imagination.
Jesus would not get girls riding an ass though:

What is vulgar about an ass? An ass is a quadruped, surely a posterior is an
arse? An ass has an arse. They are not the same word! Or are they outside
Britain?

When "ass" is used to mean idiot, it is often pronounced more like

Middle class Londoners with pretentions said it that way too. But this

pun - although nobody knows how either word was pronouned in those
days.
The words do have different origins...

ass (1)
beast of burden, O.E. assa (Old Northumbrian assal, assald) "he-ass,"
probably from O.Celt. *as(s)in "donkey," which (with Ger. esel, Goth.
asilus, Lith. asilas, O.C.S. osl) is ultimately from L. asinus,
probably of Middle Eastern origin (cf. Sumerian ansu). Since ancient
Greek times, in fables and parables, the animal typified clumsiness
and stupidity (hence asshead, late 15c., etc.). To make an ass of
oneself is from 1580s. Asses' Bridge (c.1780), from L. Pons Asinorum,
is fifth proposition of first book of Euclid's "Elements."
For al schal deie and al schal passe, Als wel a Leoun as an asse.
[John Gower, �Confessio Amantis,� 1393]
In M.E., someone uncomprehending or unappreciative would be lik an
asse that listeth on a harpe. In 15c., an ass man was a donkey driver.
:-) that last bit
ass (2)
slang for "backside," first attested 1860 in nautical slang, in
popular use from 1930; chiefly U.S.; from dialectal variant
pronunciation of arse (q.v.). The loss of -r- before -s- attested in
several other words (e.g. burst/bust, curse/cuss, horse/hoss,
barse/bass). Indirect evidence of the change from arse to ass can be
traced to 1785 (in euphemistic avoidance of ass "donkey" by polite
speakers) and perhaps to Shakespeare, if Nick Bottom transformed into
a donkey in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1594) is the word-play some
think it is. Meaning "woman regarded as a sexual object" is from 1942.
Colloquial (one's) ass "one's self, one's person" attested by 1958
arse
"buttocks," O.E. �rs "tail, rump," from P.Gmc. *arsoz (cf. O.S.,
O.H.G., O.N. ars, M.Du. �rs, Ger. Arsch "buttock"), cognate with Gk.
orros "tail, rump, base of the spine," Hittite arrash, Arm. or
"buttock," O.Ir. err "tail." Arsy-versy "backside foremost" first
attested 1530s. Middle English had arse-winning "money obtained by
prostitution" (late 14c.).

I've not yet been to England but the Israelis sure do love to honk their
car horns. The chosen people don't like to be kept waiting. This was
also apparent every time I was in a queue. Invariably, someone cut in
front. It even happened while I was lined up to board the plane for my
departure. On the plus side, Tel Aviv was full of atheists. It was also
much safer than cities of equivalent size in the USA.

I can't picture Steven Fry playing an American - it would be almost
like Edward Heath speaking French.
I did find video of Fry & Laurie, but not Heath (a former British
Prime Minister) - a speech in "French".

European Common Market, now the EU.
He was an upper class twit with the plum-in-his-mouth speech of one.
He gave a speech in "French" at a state banquet when Britain was
admitted, speaking the French words as they were printed, as if they
were English.
Not even a Rene Artois or Inspector Clousseau attempt to preannounce
them the French way.
It was embarrassing.

which carries the series.
He and Laurie worked together in other series I _did_ see, like Jeeves
and Wooster, and of course they were both in Blackadder.
He was brilliant in the debate (with Hitchens) against the bigotry of
the stupid Conservative MP Ann Widdecombe and the platitudes of the
equally stupid African bishop.
Fry was as an active Usenet user in the early days before the Internet
took off, and credits it with helping him sort out _serious_ problems
brought on by his bipolar disorder in the early 199os when he walked
off a London stage production.
Of course with today's Usenet he wouldn't get that kind of sympathy
and support any more. Imagine what Jabbers or the other psychopaths
would have done to him.

Ric Mayall is brilliant. He also had a children's show on BBC that had
good lunacy in it.

xmas episode?
If so, I have to agree.
But stealing a show from Laurie is no mean feat. He was more
brilliant at farce than he is as a surly genius, covering for a
sensitive, even tender core.

Four or five years ago.
It was broadcast by the BBC but several people saved it on youtube.
The BBC blocks US access to the videos on its web site, probably due
to agreements with their American distributors, but it's out there on
youtube...
It was actually an Archbishop not just a bishop.
He and Widdecombe talked as if their beliefs were fact, to a largely
non-Catholic audience, as if they were Catholic. Ignoring all the
things about it that people don't like, not just the pedophile priest
scandal and cover up. Hitchens ripped the archbishop a new one over
all these. And Fry was even better when it was his turn.
