An Eastern editor said that a
man got in trouble by marrying
two wives. A Western editor
says many of them have done
the same thing by marrying one.
A Northern editor says that a

trouble by merely promising TO
marry without going any farther.
A Southern editor says a friend

he was simply found in the COM
