I was happy. My girlfriend and I were dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way; my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream!

Then we moved on down a long...

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. H...
