10/12/18 Grif.Net - Why Aren't You Married Yet?
Robert Griffin
[A single 30-something teacher forwarded a few "snappy comebacks" to the question asked her: "Why Aren't You Married Yet?" I added a few more, so . . ]
You haven't asked yet.
I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life.
Because I just love hearing this question.
Just lucky, I guess.
It gives my mother something to live for.
My fiancée is awaiting his parole.
I'm still hoping for a shot at Miss America.
I'm waiting until I get to be your age.
I already have enough laundry to do, thank you.
Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.
I'd have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund.
They just opened a great singles spot on my block.
I wouldn't want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness.
I don't want to have to support another person on my paycheck.
I'm married to my career, although recently we have been considering a trial separation.
