The Price of Marriage

NAIROBI (AFP) - Former US president Bill Clinton, who was visiting Kenya, will probably never hear about it but he's being offered 20 head of cattle and 40 goats for the hand of his daughter in marriage.

The 36-year-old bachelor, Godwin Kipkemoi Chepkurgor, has waited five years after writing to the president and vows to remain unmarried until he gets an answer.

Story via Right Wing Duck. I had to strike a similar bargain with my big, tough, "I'm going to eat you alive" father-in-law. Fortunately, I only had to pay in the currency of Texas -- cow chips.

My bet: Clinton will hold out until he's offered an intern.
