What do you get these newlyweds?

I'll never tell said:
this reminds me of a story my father used to tell about a little person who was married to a woman who played basketball in college. They both worked with my father at a very, very large business.

There was this one guy at the work who was really stupid. They got this joke going that the couple was getting a divorce and the stupid guy was going to help them with their problems. They told him all day they'd let him in on their problems after work. The joke went on all day with coworkers passing the guys desk and saying, "Mr. Stupid, I know you'll know what to do. You've got to save their marriage."

Well, it's after work and they're gathered around the water cooler and the problem is explained to mr. stupid as ...

When they're nose to nose, his toes are in it and when they're toes to toes, his nose is in it.

Stupid story without Dad telling hit.

And really, dude, that was pretty much the worst story ever. I hope you're a photographer and not a writer.

Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.

I'm sad it took that long.

Well done, slappy.

I was surprised it ook so long too...
 
I remember this guy from the dolphin story.

Maybe we should giftwrap Buck.

The world's tallest man, whose search for a bride covered the world, ended up marrying a woman about half his age and half his height from his home town, Chinese media reported on Wednesday.

Bao Xishun, 56, a 2.36-metre (7-ft-9-in) herdsman listed by Guinness World Records as the tallest living man, married a 29-year-old Chinese saleswoman, the Beijing News said.

"After sending out marriage advertisements across the world and going through a long selection process, the efforts have finally paid off," the newspaper said.

His bride, Xia Shujuan, a mere 1.68 metres, comes from Chifeng in Inner Mongolia, as does Bao.

Is there something about metric math that I'm missing, or would half of 2.36 be 1.18, not 1.68? This writer isn't good enough to work for the Moline Dipsatch, dammit!
 
Doesn't matter.

"About half his age and half his height."

Clever.

Who cares if it's wrong? ;) ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)
