On the odd side: A wedding dress is worn only once so most women insist on buying them. Even if she’ll remarry she will not be using the same dress again. A tux can be used for more than weddings, going to gala nights, the theater, as best man at a friends wedding, still men insist on renting it. Doesn’t make much sense buying the stuff you need once and renting the stuff you might need on several occasions..
My wife found a place where she could sell her dress back right away. Not quite the same as renting, but it worked out very well for us. We ended up paying only $49 for the dress including alterations, which is about what I ended up paying for the tux rental. I would bet you could do quite well running a wedding dress rental business (rent the bridesmaids dresses too, they will probably never get used again either).
It’s the alterations. The dress must fit absolutely perfect so that as you walk down the aisle, your friends and family can only judge you when trip and take a tumble down the aisle, dragging your father to the ground with you, rather than on some gaps in the dress.
And what’s wrong with quoting Terminator at one of them, and hoping they actually give you the clothes and the mugging or possibly killing won’t be necessary.
Is Butler Bug new? He has a different mustache than sheriff bug or janitor bug. I like him. No mugging the butler! With Bug’s coloring, he could probably just put on a tie and no one would know the difference.
‘Course, he’d be nude, but he always is, anyway, so…
I think the funniest thing I ever saw was at a cousin’s wedding (I was about 10 years old), and the best man wrote “HELP ME!” in black marker on the bottom of the groom’s shoes. It was a Catholic church and the looks of puzzlement on the many faces as laughter erupted throughout the congregation as the couple knelt before the alter in this otherwise solemn ritual.
My best friend’s mother got remarried a few years ago. It was a Scottish wedding, so the bride’s gown was a wonderful purple-pink sort of thing, and the groom wore a traditional coat and kilt. I’m at least 89% sure both were his – a Scott’s tartan is of great and dear personal importance. Any funk that may have been on either garment belonged to him and him alone. Also, I tried haggis. It wasn’t bad.
On another note, I’m suddenly reminded of a little pink dog.
And if you get that reference, we are now friends.

Which is why I’m never going to buy a wedding dress! Aside from the fact I’m not planning on marriage. >_>

I’ll be tackling wedding dresses tomorrow.
I can’t think of a problem that can’t be solved with mugging the right butler.
Which is why I’m considering wearing chainmail to my wedding. Also, excellent comic yet again! I lol’d most heartily.
Does the chainmail come with the apropriate weaponry? If so, count me in.
Mug the butler ! Mug him !

I need your bow tie, cummerbund, and your motorcycle.
Get married on the beach. You’ll only have needo for a speedo tuxedo.
Neato!
Tuxpeedo!

Most of the tuxes I saw recently either reeked of fear or sexual failure (prom returns). The returns from the Purity Balls were just scary.

Jeff, The butler isn’t new. We’ve seen him before.

I totally agree on the silliness of renting a tux, but do we really have to take it out on a poor butler? Haven’t they already suffered enough?

aww poor butler
