Don and all,
It is my hypothesis simply that (1) approximately 95% of cavers are inherently naughty to a greater or lesser (but mostly greater) degree, and therefore predisposed to some degree of core drama reaction; (2) a critical mass of naughtiness necessary to begin a spontaneous, self-sustaining total drama meltdown is not generally achieved in caver-to-caver marriages, at least during the first half-life (six months) of the marriage; (3) the cumulative time factor is altered, however, if the bonding ceremony takes place underground. Such an underground transaction tends to enrich the naughty isotope to an inherently unstable level in one or both parties, leading to an alcohol-lubricated cascading series of unions that result in a daisy-chain-reaction meltdown. All these effects can be ameliorated, however, by lead underpants for both parties.

I believe, that due to planar topological relations to all parties involved, a non-resolving dimensional instability begins to resonate between two sexual partners who undergo a social ceremony while inside a hole. That resonance creates frionic irritation within the medula oblongata - totally wrecking the peace, love and happiness which otherwise would have possibly bonded such a couple. -DC On Wed, Jan 18, 2012 at 11:49 AM, Frank Binney <[email protected]> wrote: > Have any marriages lasted that had their wedding celebrations in a cave? > I recall a number of underground weddings over the years officiated by > Reverend Ediger or other ordained cavers but as far as I recall all ended in > divorce. > --Frank > > > On 1/18/12 9:02 AM, "Gill Edigar" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> In April of 1969, just before or just after a trip to Golondrinas, I >> sent in a 6-cent postcard with my and Jette Feduska's names and >> addresses on it--no money, no nuthin else--and received our >> ordinations in the Universal Life Church a few days later.
