-Rob Schneider as a Japanese Priest, in I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry

The priest then went on and on, comparing a circle to various other angular geometries ("It's not like a square, square have four sides, it's like a circle"), pissing off the gay couple to be married. This monologue, for some reason, seemed to tickle the cinema audience no end, as did many cheap gay jokes in the movie. Me, I couldn't believe I paid eight dollars to watch that shit.

But is the reason behind a ring being cast in a circle being that a circle signifies love everlasting? I'd have thought it was a less complicated reason, such as a circle being the only shape that would fit on a finger. If that's the case, the Singaporean government should pass a mandate that all rings be cast in rectangles, to inspire married couples to have two children, since a rectangle is made of two long lengths (parents) and two short lengths (children). And you will please ignore the previous sentence because somehow I thought it would be funny but it turns out it is not.

Don't-put-my-name asked me a few days ago about my take on marriage. I think marriage, like the ring, is a convenient romanticization. A ring is naturally circular, just like marriage is a natural stage in a progressing relationship. But much lyrical has been waxed about both, and I don't quite understand why.

Don't-put-my-name, if you're reading this, co-habitation lah.
