Tall Plans
Going to buy some giant furniture for my 50-foot-tall fiancée. I love her like I’m twice my height. We’re planning a destination wedding—at the zoo. Maybe we’ll have a big cash giveaway and a family friendly BBQ on the meaty grass. With a little luck, everyone will be exempt from capital gains tax. After our honeymoon, she and I plan to move into a little palace with old worm charm and a sunken-living-room jacuzzi. Until then, I’ve promised not to look at other girls—at least until after the ceremony. I mean, who doesn’t like to a little fun now and then? Basketball, anyone?
