Sixteen girls


Little Johnny was attending his first marriage ceremony.

After the service, his cousin requested him, “What number of girls can a person marry?”

“Sixteen,” the boy responded.

His cousin was amazed that he had a solution so rapidly. “How have you learnt that?”

“Straightforward,” the little boy stated. “All you must do is add it up, just like the Bishop stated: 4 higher, 4 worse, 4 richer, 4 poorer”
