Where in the world did this "my wife is my cousin" stuff come from anyways. I don't recall ever saying my wife is my cousin. I think I said something one time like, "the last 4 letters of my last name is 'ford' and the first two letters of my mom's maiden name is "Mc." While the first two letters of my wife's last name (before marrying me) is "Mc" and the last 4 letters of her mom's maiden name is "ford." Therefore my wife and I, both being Mick-Ford hybrids, got married. I always thought that was pretty neat. Our kids are nice English-Irish mixes.
