The bonds of marriage are so heavy that it takes two to carry them,
sometimes three. [Moms Mabley] Or four, or five.... [Della Reese]
``The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson;'' the first quote is
also attributed to Alexandre Dumas on p. 119 of Erica Jong's
``Fear of Flying,'' the word ``marriage'' being replaced by
``wedlock''
