We had the damnedest time getting our marriage license in Philadelphi back
in '81 as my wife was a Jew and I'm an atheist.  The stupid cubicle tyrant
insisted we swear on her bible.  I pointed out that I didn't hold with any
of the book and my wife only with the first half. She wouldn't give in
until I called for her supervisor.
