Age Only a Number? | moonshadoe's Blog

(9:06AM) Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not everyone is entitled to mine, but I'll give it anyway on something so bizarre as a 112 year old man getting married to a seventeen year old girl. I'm hesitant to refer to her as a woman, but in time she'll get there, especially after she wakes up one day and realizes what she's done.

I guess it just boggles the mind, mine anyway, but the fact that it took place somewhere in Somalia might have something to do with it, being Third World and that sort of thing. Then again, there are some parts of the Unites States that are Third World too, but I won't mention Arkansas. I wonder about how it all came about. Was she a three-bagger with an IQ of ten who had no chance of ever matching up with someone close to her age? I know, I've heard it from different ones that age is only a number, and in some cases I suppose that might be true. But in this case I'm not so sure. After all, we're only talking about a mere 95 years, if he is, in fact, 112. In one article I read it was stated that he'd been married five times before, but he hadn't been married for the last seventy-five years. I guess after seventy-five years a guy could get a little bit antsy to get hitched again, that is if he can remember what it was like seventy-five years ago. 

Here's an interesting tidbit if the numbers are true. The man hasn't been married, it was purportedly said, for the last seventy-five years, which means he hasn't been married since he was thirty-seven, but by the time he had reached that age he had been married five times, and what does that tell a person? Methinks at that time that he was having some significant woman problems if five of them had better things to do than spend the rest of their lives with him. And where were all the other seventeen year olds hanging out during the seventy-five years between then and now? My inquiring mind wants to know. Obviously, they had better things to do than get paired up with someone old enough to be their grandpa. 

"Married life is about love and passion rather than age and beauty," he said. Perhaps there is something written between the lines in that statement to suggest more than meets the eye. While on the surface I can say that I agree, is one to assume that she's uglier than a mud fence and desperate for anything remotely approaching actual love even if it means rubbing corns and emptying bed pans day in and day out till death do them part, which could be any day now? I suppose the possibility is that she's blind in one eye and can't see out of the other with a hump in the middle of her back, and he happens to have a special fetish for humps. But it's all a mystery to me. How much love and passion can a guy who's 112 years old deliver? On the wedding night does he plan to have a stunt double who's half his age step in to consummate the marriage for him so he doesn't keel over from a massive coronary when she exposes her teenage bosom for the first time?  

But he says that they love each other so much, and maybe she's suffering from some kind of great-great-great grandfather fixation. I know there are some women who prefer older men, but barely living fossils? Isn't that abusing the preference just a little? Then again, there may be a different strategy playing out here. We are talking about Somalia, and in some places food is considered a luxury, so just maybe this is a matter of life and death going on here. Maybe he's got a secret stash and she's just trying to keep from starving to death. I'm thnking there has to be an ulterior motive in this somewhere, or maybe she has her own fetish for guys who have more wrinkles than a California raisin.  

In another article I read, he said, "Today God helped me realize my dream." Fantasy is more like it, and that suggests to me that the guy probably sleeps way too much. It was written that despite his already large family, the guy is still hoping for more children, which tells me that he's still dreaming. Somebody wake the guy up so he'll know when to say "I do", and somebody else give her a psychiatric exam to see how many bricks she's short of in having a full load. Then again, there's that possibility that he's the only guy around who doesn't have AIDS, because AIDS wasn't around when he was thirty-seven. And that's all I have to say about that.
