Here's a good one if you find yourself stuck in a crowd of conservative christian folk
with a good proportion of married couples. Wait until you hear one of those patronising, pseudo-self depreciating comments on marriage/ the spouse made by another person in your presence, then speaketh thus:
"perhaps you should pray to the noble Hymen"
now Hymen is a wonderful word to toss into the converstion with casual abandon,
wait the appropriate short pause, then cut across the spluttering starts to remonstrate with you, by speakething thusly:
"Im not quite sure what you're thinking of & doubt you'll find one in this gathering,
but I was referring to Hymen, the Greek and Roman God of Marriage. Depicted as a young man with torch and veil for those connessuirs (how the flip should i spell that )
of graven images. Probably one of the most berated and harassed Gods of the Roman Empire. Imagine how you'd feel when Zuess is handing out the jobs to his lesser Gods if you drew being God of Marriage ? Talk about the poison'd chalice.
"Yeah, thanks Zuess, I've got responsibility for all human marriages for all eternity."
..............
Yes, the old Hymen, always good value to ginger up a religious chit chat.
