Time to get married...

...not for me. Really Mom, I'd have told you who she was (and hopefully introduced you two) before asking her. (Without Mom's blessing, I wouldn't even consider buying a ring.)

But if you live in Black Jack, MO, and you're not married and you're living together with at least one child (did you catch all that?), you'd better get married.
Mo. Town Denies Unmarried Couple Permit

BLACK JACK, Mo. - The city council has rejected a measure allowing unmarried couples with multiple children to live together, and the mayor said those who fall into that category could soon face eviction.

Olivia Shelltrack and Fondrey Loving were denied an occupancy permit after moving into a home in this St. Louis suburb because they have three children and are not married.
...
The current ordinance prohibits more than three people from living together unless they are related by "blood, marriage or adoption." The defeated measure would have changed the definition of a family to include unmarried couples with two or more children.
First, since when was a town named "Black Jack" known for its high moral standards? Interesting...

Second, the ordinance was probably adopted to stop large parties such as college fraternity houses from happening, not because of a moral high road.

Third, have you ever heard of a place where you needed an "occupancy permit"? Weird.

Sounds like some "law" I will see the next time I play Balderdash!

Matter of fact, if you build or remodel a home in the City of Brookfield (WI), or ANY OTHER CITY in the State of Wisconsin, you damn well better have an "occupancy permit" before you put your feet on the floor...

Me too. Guess I didn't know that. Must be something I'd only know if I had home ownership or something....
