I work with a lady whose daughter got married the other day. I am always looking for a reason to either throw a bachelor party or go to a bachelor party so I asked her if the groom (also known as the poor sap) had a bachelor party. The lady turned on me like a cat hissing when it is backed into a corner and said "No! And he is not going to, either." My response was naturally incredulous. Every man should have a bachelor party. It is a rite of passage.
Thomas Paine's The Rights of Man did not include as part of his treatise man's right to have a bachelor party but that is part of the rights of man. If a man is going to get married, the poor sap should go out kicking and screaming with a beer in one hand and a boob in the other. A bachelor party is a rite of passage for a man and I tried to tell the lady I work with this. By man law, an ex post facto bachelor party is required and mandatory within the first six months of marriage. I told the lady I work with that I would be glad to arrange something for the young man because I still know a few people but she politely declined my offer. I believe her exact words were "No! You stay away from him! He is not having a bachelor party!" It is bad enough that his wife is probably answering for him but now his mother-in-law is too. This man needs a bachelor party!
