Quote:Should my wife and I disband now that we cannot produce children the natural way anymore? Can I claim Biblical perogative and try to impregnate our cleaning lady instead?? That's the Bible precedent for you. I don't think my wife cares for that precedent tho.
I've given up on the Handmaiden idea (for now); however, we are making some progress on our work of spawning some Uruk-Hai. They are more expensive to produce than children, at least initially, but there are some advantages:
-No diapers!
-No need for a security system.
-Family restaurant servers will always be polite.
-I expect our high school football team to do very well.
-No need to save money for college tuition.
-Pro hockey salaries are not bad these days!
...but, there are the down sides:
-Meat is expensive.
-No more pets.
-Increased liability insurance is also expensive.
-What cleans slime?
-Man-flesh is hard to come by.... I think we just plan to take them downtown in the late evening and then pick them up in the morning. I think the crime rate, overall, will decline. Eventually.
-We will never be able to visit rural towns more than once.
-The "Frodo Wuzza Chump" tattoos.
