Marriage

"Your honor, " explained the young man, "I'd like to get married,please."

"All right, what is your age?"

"I'm 22, sir."

"And the age of the bride?"

"She's 15, sir."

"15??? That's too young -- marrying you would be against the law!"

"I see, " said the young man. "Would you mind explaining that to the fella next to her with the shotgun?"
