A friend e-mailed me the romantic story of two antennas who met on a roof, fell in love, and got married. The ceremony wasn't much, but the reception was excellent.

(He tells me this story is on car-talk, and that it continues. But I'd bet we can do better.)

I'd always thought an antenna was a male symbol. But from what I hear this wasn't a gay wedding.

In fact, the bride was a real dish.

The party was a riot.

And the atmosphere was a gas.

A while later they had two kids; one of each: UHF and VHF.

When talking about the things on the roof is the correct plural antennas or antennae?

Were they married in Sparks, Nevada? Is the male well grounded? Was his name Ariel? And I hear that the female had been previously seduced very quickly by a cad named Lightning Rod. Fortunately, she soon realised that they weren't on the same wavelength. Oh, yeah, the musical group at the wedding was the Broadcast Band, and the MC at the reception was Radar O'Reilly.

According to rumor, both the bride and the groom were wired co-axially.

Alas! Though they had hoped to achieve society acclaim by having the prestige of the Duchess Potatoes, the best they could attain was a mere common tater.

That depends on how many legs the things on your roof have!

If any knows why these two should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever hold his earpiece.

By the power surge invested in me, I now pronounce you axial and coaxial.
