An email:
Hi, You heard this morning that a man was undone by a bear. You recently saw it on the news. A man who worked with a bear was killed by the bear. You will also recall that two years ago a man who lived with wild bears was eaten by bears. Not long after that a man who loved sharks and other dangerous denizens of the deep came to a sudden and much publicized end when one of them turned on him. You and I know that there are wild and uncontrollable creatures on this planet that may be toyed with for a while, but that at any time they are likely to turn on you. And yet, every day you and I have one more friend who plans to get married. You are invited to stop by for supper anytime. Steve
Response: Thank you for the dinner invitation Steve. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend. I work with bears and other denizens of the deep and because of your email I now suffer from agoraphobia and can't leave my house. I do not wish for my coworkers to eat me or undo me. I do wish to marry you though. I can make all the arrangements and we can do it on your lunch break if that is convenient. Hope to speak with you soon...

Wait wait wait. Is it too late to get in on this? I am reasonably good looking and am looking to get married over the internet since I'm real busy and agoraphobic myself. Also, I do a pretty cool NPR parody called IPR : Irrational Public Radio. Check it out if you like. It be funny.
