The Virgin Ben misses the point of the guards’ presence. He has apparently forgotten that Israel has little patience for “Reform Judaism.” The official religion is Orthodox Judaism. This of course means that after the wedding ceremony, there is a somewhat barbaric cloistering of the bride and groom so that the groom can, ahem, “inspect” the goods he bargained for. Since the Mrs. Virgin Ben is still alive and well, we can only surmise that she remebered her little vial of chicken blood.

But what does the Torah say about gate-crashing?

Or does it mandate armed guards for that, too?

Jeez, with everyone carrying guns around, or singing sweet paeans to those studs who do, it’s a wonder anybody ever gets laid. Threesomes, I’m guessing…

What, you never learned about the Mediterranean Ocean in school?

Boy, are you the stupid one.

Probably hate armed guards, and our troops, too.

It was a beautiful wedding in Acre, Israel, overlooking the ocean [sic] at sunset.

If he can’t even get the basic geography right, one has to question the credibility of the entire story.

The only person standing guard outside the Catholic chapel where I was married was some dude handing out Chick tracts that said that Catholics were pagans because of their veneration of the Virgin Mary. Beats nothing, I guess.

Outside the wedding hall stood a guard. Every wedding in Israel requires an armed guard to prevent terrorist attacks. Only the armed guards prevent the infliction of mass casualties at joyous events; only the armed guards protect the ceremonies that act as the foundation stones to civilization.

Only one guard? Some people, they just don’t know how good they got it.

Afghan officials say 47 women and children were killed when coalition forces bombed a wedding party in the eastern province of Nangahar…

Pathetic wimp. Because he couldn’t get laid, the society is nihilistic and narcissistic. Or a Darwinian instinct told every woman he met to choose flight. I like explanation number two VB.

I’m guessing VB and Mrs. Ben will beat Chris Kattan’s record. Stay tuned.

In listing the building blocks of civilization, he forgot “plumbing.”

It’s not a metaphor. Ben is doing his part to defend civilization from the islamunist hordes by getting married. Now he doesn’t have to become a soldier.

Far be it from me to be critical, but at 24 and 20, it kind of looks like the Virgin Ben and the Mrs. may have made their selections before walking the full length of the counter.
