Reasons to Marry a Bong Guy

In response to this article that one of my friends made me read this afternoon, here’s why marrying a Bong Guy is a good idea!

The reasons to marry a Bong Guy are numerous. Here are a few

1) He will probably show up at the wedding looking like this, so you can laugh at him and forget that you are being starved.

    1. Great. But for someone who is not a Bengali, will face another kind of problem. She'll always be referred to as a "non-Bengali", as the Bengali's world is divided in two segments: Bengal and Non-Bengal. :)
