PSA: Top 15 Biblical Ways to Acquire a Wife

I normally don’t post stuff like this, but I got this in my email the other day and I thought it was funny. So today I give a Public Service Annoucement: Top 15 Biblical Ways to Acquire a Wife:
1. Find an attractive prisoner of war, bring her home, shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes. Then she’s yours.
– (Deuteronomy 21:11-13)
2. Find a prostitute and marry her.
– Hosea (Hosea 1:1-3)
3. Find a man with seven daughters, and impress him by watering his flock.
– Moses (Exodus 2:16-21)
4. Purchase a piece of property, and get a woman as part of the deal.
– Boaz (Ruth 4:5-10)
5. Go to a party and hide. When the women come out to dance, grab one and carry her off to be your wife.
– Benjaminites (Judges 21:19-25)
6. Have God create a wife for you while you sleep. Note: this will cost you a rib.
– Adam (Genesis 2:19-24)
7. Agree to work seven years in exchange for a woman’s hand in marriage. Get tricked into marrying the wrong woman. Then work another seven years for the woman you wanted to marry in the first place. That’s right. Fourteen years of toil for a woman.
– Jacob (Genesis 29:15-30)
8. Cut off 200 foreskins off of your future father-in-law’s enemies and get his daughter for a wife.
– David (I Samuel 18:27)
9. Even if no one is out there, just wander around a bit and you’ll definitely find someone. (It’s all relative of course.)
– Cain (Genesis 4:16-17)
10. Become the emperor of a huge nation and hold a beauty contest.
– Ahasuerus (Esther 2:3-4)
11. When you see someone you like, go home and tell your parents, “I have seen a …woman; now get her for me.” If your parents question your decision, simply say, “Get her for me. She’s the one for me.”
– Samson (Judges 14:1-3)
12. Kill any husband and take HIS wife. (Prepare to lose your son though).
– David (2 Samuel 11)
13. Wait for your brother to die. Take his widow. (It’s not just a good idea, it’s the law).
– Onan and Boaz (Deuteronomy or Leviticus, example in Ruth)
14. Don’t be so picky. Make up for quality with quantity.
– Solomon (1 Kings 11:1-3)
15. A wife?…NOT!!!
– Paul (1 Corinthians 7:32-35)
Yeah, I didn’t have anything today.
Foreign Groceries Museum. Weird.
Streets of Fire. Heh, heh…burn burn!!

16. Impress them by flaunting your physical superiority.

-Double Dragon (SEGA, 1988)
Exactly what move is that?
Unless my eyes deceive me, it’s a perfectly executed double-inverted pelvic uppercut. Not only is this move extremely devastating, it’s also the flagship move of the popular Rex-Kwan-Do style, particularly championed by practitioners of the “Wisdom of a Man” discipline.
Update:

Robert has revealed his latest tactic to attract women. The basic principle here is to showcase your masculinity by delivering repeated blows to those less fortunate than yourself.
I seriously debated posting this becuase of the onslaught of comments that might ensue, but I just thought it would entertain you to know that the White Castle link hit a little close to home for the simple fact that I was born in that hospital, and my mom’s parents live off that road. If you take it east, it leads to Newark, Ohio, and the town where my mom is from, Pataskla, is on the way there…just in case you were wondering.
I showed that worthless fish who’s boss.
Just for the record I like dead fish more than cats, and i stab dead fish with a stick.
oh and I might be a #10, the others I’m not so sure of…
After days of very few comments, you make a posting about acquiring a wife, and bam, people make comments. No surprise there.
Did you ever eat at that White Castle H&F?
I stabbed you a delicious grouper.
I’ve never eaten at White Castle. It’s the northern equivalent of Krystal’s, which my family does not frequent. The buildings are really cool though.
