Here in the legal services business, we've noted several premarital 
meeting / dating / sex provision patterns that are proportionally 
weighted toward smoking crater / steaming carcass levels of failure by 
incendiary or other other highly explosive means.  Reports of failures 
of same are never surprising and, after you've lived in Wa for a while 
you can predict which unions are heading for the rocks before the knot 
even gets tied ... usually around his neck.
