Post Nuptials for the Uni Rider

This was originally for the bike rider, but I made some ammendemts.

This agreement acknowledges that the forthcoming marriage is a legal arrangement that accepts the perpetual continuity of a pre-existing relationship between two parties and that a three-way coexistence shall be created consisting of the following participating parties: Spouse A (the loving, non-unicycle rider), hereafter referred to as SA; Spouse B (the loving, unicycle rider), hereafter referred to as SB; and The Uni (the all-beautiful, glorious one), hereafter referred to as TU.

Condition I
Acknowledgement: SA shall henceforth recognize that SB and TU have forged a long-standing relationship and unbreakable bond. Efforts or attempts to alienate, separate, or to divide permanently or temporarily, regardless of circumstances, shall never occur.
Condition II
Cohabitation: SA and SB shall agree upon comfortable and equal living quarters for TU, its related service equipment and riding gear. TU shall only be exposed to the elements of Nature during outdoor rides. All other times, TU shall have access to warm, dry, low traffic living space with complete protection from any and all physical harm. If at any time there is a conflict with SA, SB, furniture or other objects, TU shall have absolute precedence of its desired stationary location. In the event SA is absent overnight or longer, TU shall be permitted bedroom space (if not already arranged).
Condition III
Exclusivity and Infidelity: At no time shall TU be ridden by anyone other than the parties of this agreement, without the sole permission of SB. SA must request permission from SB to ride or attempt physical contact with TU and shall only do so in the presence of SB.
Condition IV
Equal time: SA shall be guaranteed equal, quality time with SB, equivalent to time spent with TU unless it conflicts with TU; in which case TU has absolute preference. Evening hours of darkness, rain or any weather conditions which may be considered undesirable by non-uni’rs, does not offer SA preferential status if SA and TU view these moments to train for these possible weather conditions. Maintenance-service time shall be as determined by SB and shall not be interfered with by SA or others, without approval of SB. In the event of an emergency (i.e., SA needs assistance; child sets hair on fire, etc.) SB shall complete any or all TU related activities as soon as possible and, then and only then shall SB be expected to address said emergency. In the event of distress, a visit by In-laws, need of stress relief or other moments of depression, SB shall be permitted as much time with TU (or TU related activities), magazines, books, events, etc. as necessary for SB to return his/her emotional status to an uplifting and happy mode.
Condition V
Parties SA and SB shall agree that SB will be permitted and encouraged to purchase any and all TU related equipment at any and all times, whether the aforementioned be repairs, replacements, upgrades or just cosmetic. Any replacement parts shall be considered cherished spares and provided adequate, preferential storage space equivalent to conditions set to TU; preferably under the bed, favorite closet or placed on the coffee table for a conversation item. Coffee table books, such as but not limited to, On One Wheel, USA Rulebook, or any unicycle related reading material, shall retain prominent placement on said table; free from possible damage related to the displayed replacement part.
Newly installed items on TU shall immediately require TU to be prominently placed on display as the focal point of the household (i.e., in front of the television). Newly purchased items, which have not been installed, shall be openly displayed as a centerpiece, to be seen and envied by all visitors. Said item shall be allowed to be placed under SB’s pillow during the sleeping hours unless it is potentially harmful to said item.
This provision shall be enforced until the installation is complete. Mental, physical or marital interventions shall not be exercised to install the item until SB is ready to perform this action. Only SB shall be the deciding party in this determination and there shall be no compromise.
Condition VI
Finances: All household finances shall be considered separate from TU finances. If Conflicts should arise, TU gets preference.
Condition VII
Disposition: In the event SA has a compatible unicycle, SB can offer spare parts to be temporarily installed for use by SA, until such time when SB requires their use on TU. Advance notice of this return is not required. All equipment of and for the use of TU by SB shall remain the sole property of SB come Hell or high water and shall not be relinquished under any circumstances, Courts of Law, moments of contesting spousal madness and death of SB. In the event of the death of SB, SA will be obligated to complete the upgrades (expressed, implied or dreamed of) and bury the unicycle with the departed. Should SB have previously requested a separate grave for TU, SB and TU will be buried side-by-side in separate caskets, in a common, doublewide grave. A common headstone shall be placed centrally at the head of the grave and the complete identification of TU’s frame, components, wheels and tyres shall be engraved on the head stone. Tyres shall be inflated to full-recommended psi ratings prior to placing in the casket. In the event of the later death of SA, burial of SA shall be adjacent to SB, not TU.
Condition VIII
Protected Communications: All TU related communications intended for SB, be they voice (telephone messages, visitors, etc.); print (mail-order catalogues, product mailings, etc.) or electronic (email, voice-mail, buddies calling to ride, etc.), shall be promptly expedited to SB. Furthermore, no censorship of said communications shall ever occur and SA agrees to refrain from making disparaging comments about the content of these communications and/or their source(s). Improper language (i.e., referring to a bicycle, or clown) is prohibited in the household and outdoors in the presence of TU.
Extended Conditions: TU shall never be subjected to be the focus or object of a disagreement, or be introduced as part of said disagreement. Conversations relating to TU shall always be of praise and admiration; visitors, including in-laws, who are not in agreement with this condition, are banished from the household of SB, TU and SA forever until they come to their senses.

All of the above conditions, in whole or part, are forever to be considered ironclad, irrevocable and nonnegotiable.
Signed

that should have u as popular as THAT t-shirt idea!

"In the event SA is absent overnight or longer, TU shall be permitted bedroom space (if not already arranged). "

:slight_smile: Very good!

Although if this was adapted from bikes, that’s another thing entirely… it’d take some effort to get a bike up the stairs here!

Phil, just me

Uncharacteristly so Dave, I believe you missed the point.

I for one have no objection to this. It is, as far as I can tell, gender neutral and applies to husbands and wives, in fact, same-sex unions equally well. (I searched the text for “man”, “woman”, “men”, “women”, “male”, “female”, “he” “she”, “husband”, or “wife” and found no instances.)

So, and I speak only for myself, my excessively sensitive, mindlessly politically correct self has no problem with it.

Except perhaps insofar as I would have expected a Canadian to try to make reference to more international standards, ie. IUF ones, rather than USA ones. :wink:

Otherwise a fine document.

oh my good friend jjuglle, how do i begin…

i also made no gender ref’s in my comment on the afore mentioned ‘fine’ document
my comment was directed solely at sofa as the person who introduced the document to this forum in general and me in particular
i believe it fair to assume that he gave this his personal stamp of aproval (indeed, he takes responsibility for customising it)
my comment was merely intended to share my conviction that if he presented this document to his loveliest wife, he would find himself as popular as he would if he went to bed wearing THAT t-shirt
this is an opinioin i have now considered for an additional 13 minutes and i stand by it

canada has standards?!?

I’m wondering about the rights of TU when TU2, TU3, and TU4 come along. This is a serious issue!

Yes, you do get into serious legal and ethical matters when unipolygamy is concerned.

I am sorry, but I am firmly of the belief that any T-shirt worth its salt
MUST have, at least in part, a politically incorrect message. As such this
text requires rewording to include a multitude of gender specific and other
non-PC references, before the printed cloth gets anywhere near my chest.

Naomi…
…who believes all these politically correct proponents
should be lined up against the wall and shot, or at least put on the first
spaceship. They have caused ridicule for the whole equality movement in
numerous arenas, and have had a negative, not positive effect. I am not of
an “ethnic minority”, I am not “culturally different” (nor even culturally
challenged ). I am totally happy with anyone who wishes to call me Asian.
Call me anything you want as long as it is accurate, or in jest.

Re: Re: Post Nuptials for the Uni Rider

As I said, I spoke only for myself.

Naomi, I promise not to report you to Scotland Yard for making threats that might potentially be interpreted as terroristic or inciting terroristic acts against proponents of political correctness. If I happen to be lined up against a wall and shot though, I’m making sure my wife knows who to blame. :wink:

For those who have perhaps pigeon-holed me, may I recommend, in vaguely self-serving but I’m not sure how gesture, that you do an Internet search on one of my favorite periodicals (kids ask your parents for permission). It is called Maledicta: The International Journal of Verbal Aggression. Order (kids ask your parents first) The Best of Maledicta (often available at http://www.alibris.com where I got my copy for $3).

If you love nasty humor, you will love this. If you love anything that hurts the feelings of others really, really badly, you will love this. If you love the word “fart”, you will love this. If you live to be politically incorrect, you will live the better for it. If you love language and its creative use and misuse in all its incarnations, you will love this.

After reading it, you may even love me. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well probably not. :frowning:
