you youngsters probably never heard this song, but part of the lyrics go:
"i got married to the widow next door. she's been married 7 times before"
i don't know about you, but i would be leery of a woman who has been married 7 times and all her husbands died.


I never took notes in college. That's how I got a 4.0 the first 2 years, and a 3.5 the second two years.

Fortunately since my name isn't Henry (or "Ennery" as in the version of the song I heard) I wouldn't be put in that position.

I think a woman should be more leery of Henry VIII. Six wives. And two of them got beheaded under his order.

I think you are assuming facts not in evidence. The song says she is a widow, and has been married seven times. But perhaps she had six divorces and only the most recent husband died.


Never ascribe to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

It's still creepy. Being married seven times and going for the eighth is already bad enough, but all of them had the same given name? Yikes! We know she buried at least one of them, so Henry "The Eighth" really should be asking some pointed questions before rushing into anything. Hey, Ben Cartwright is a single dad by the time we know him, and he only managed to get up to three wives before the ladies of the Nevada territory just collectively said, "Yeah, no thanks."
