This was sent to me by Henry de Balsac. You read it forwards ("Before Marriage) and then read the same text backwards ("After Marriage.") It is a classic device, but still very funny and I am tempted to do something similar in the play I'm writing for next Pennsic.
Before Marriage
John: Ah, at last, I can hardly wait!
Jane: Do you want me to leave?
John: No! Don't even think about it!
Jane: Do you love me?
John: Of course, always have and always will!
Jane: Have you ever cheated on me?
John: No, why are you even asking?
Jane:Will you kiss me?
John: Every chance I get!
Jane: Will you hit me?
John: Hell no! Are you crazy?
Jane: Can I trust you?
John: Yes
Jane: Darling!
After Marriage - read the text above from bottom back up to top
