A man from Kenya has offered Bill Clinton livestock for Chelsea's hand in marriage.
A Kenyan says he offered Bill Clinton 40 goats and 20 cows for his daughter's hand in marriage five years ago -- and is still waiting for an answer.
In our country, adult women, not their fathers, own the property rights to themselves. They make up their own mind about who to marry. Perhaps the smitten fellow should see if Chelsea wants the goats and cows. If so, she might want to write them into a prenup.
Better yet, we have learned how much better a monetary system works relative to a barter system at facilitating transactions. Why not sell the livestock first and give the cash to Chelsea? Assuming the cows are heifers (technically, a cow is a female, so a bull or a steer is not a "cow") weigh 700 pounds each and sell for a dollar a pound, the cows alone would bring $14,000.***
The man is waiting for an answer:
Chepkurgor vowed to remain single until he gets an answer to his proposal to marry Chelsea, 25.
But will he remain faithful????????
*** Update - Crude estimates for the goats' worth: assuming they are billies or bucks, weigh 100 pounds each, and sell for $65 per hundreweight, the goats have an estimated market worth of $2,600. Chelsea has revealed that her hand in marriage is worth more to her than $16,600 minus the cost of selling the livestock.
