747.0. "Marriages of Convenience" by CTOAVX::OAKES (Its Deja Vu all over again...) Fri Dec 08 1989 14:57

    
    
    What about "Marriages of Convenience"??  You know, two people who
    should never get married as the combination of names would lead
    to some smirks if not outright guffaws....
    
    
    I propose to start with the following respectfully submitted entry
    to start:
    
    
    
                  If Tuesday Weld married Frederick March the Second
                  (II).........
                  
                  She would be....Tuesday March The Second?!?!?

    Wouldn't she be either "Mrs. Frederick March II" or 
    "Mrs. Tuesday March"?

    	There are several others in a note with a title like
    "nominal punishment". As someone who has an Annie Seed in their family
    tree, and a Hazel Shute as a sister-in-law I think notes like this
    should be censored by the moderator.

    The notes you mention are not the same.

    I admit this might be more appropriate in a humor conference but I
    believe this person is asking you to make up new names from a
    combination of two (or more) _real_ names.

    You mean like this:
    
    If Rose kennedy married John Philip Sousa, then married Billy Rose,
    then remarried Sousa, then married Pete Rose, then moved in with
    Gertrude Stein, she'd be:
    
    		Rose Sousa Rose Sousa Rose 
    
    			or Alice B. Toklas...

Andrew,

You stole my entry.  I thought of almost the same thing last night.  (And
Rose Kennedy is a bit more elegant than Rose Marie.)

    If Madonna had married Pete Fountain before she married Sean Penn,
    she would have been Madonna Fountain Penn.

Jane Pawley dumps Gary and marries
