Hey all,

Anyway, having stayed up too long, a random thought occured to me...
If you ever read P. Anthony's Xanth series, there's a book called
"Isle of View". (Yeah, he's on Takahashi's level with those puns.)
Anyway, in that, Dolph (I think that's his name) ends up with two
fiancees.  Well, needing to honor both engagements, the solution
they come up with is that he'd marry one and then divorce her the
next day and marry the other.  Of course, in that story, after the
wedding night, he ditches the other one and doesn't divorce.

The reason that what you suggest was a viable solution in IoV was that he
*had* to marry the first to save her life (from that curse thingy), and
the second one didn't love him anyway.

A divorce wouldn't do much for family honor, would it?  And even if it
*did*, there's the small difficulty that all of fiancees happen to love
him...

The sardines weren't worth the trouble..  A few more shots, then 
Ryoga-san would overheat and explode.  Ducking around a corner, 
I managed to lose him as I entered the ramshackle residence of 
my Anime supplier.

One look at his face and I knew that I was betrayed.  "Tell me."
I insisted.  He refused, so I slammed him against the wall.
"Last chance.  Where can Ranma-Ranma find good fanfics?"
"Try Jason Liao." he whispered, before he slumped to the floor.
I heard the sounds of a door splintering as I left through the 
window, one step ahead of Tendo Heavy Industries...
