Merry/Marry merger caught wild

[Mark A. Mandel]

Dave Hause <dwhause at JOBE.NET> writ:
>>>

Seen in white shoe polish on windows, a turnpike rest stop in Oklahoma,
"Just Merred" (front and side) and "Just Merryed" on the back.  Or maybe the
couple's friends just can't spell.

<<<

And/or maybe there's a pun on one (or both??) of the names of the happy
couple. I've known at least one "Merry" (female, named for the [male]
character in Lord of the Rings), and I'm sure there are more, especially if
we count the Merediths.
