Smoking some cigars and playing a little poker with Gamz.

So, since they just changed the law in Iowa and Gerry & Gamz can get married there, Tom, Gamz, Gerry, Mark, Rosie and Elvis hopped into Tom's paddy wagon and they hit the road for the quad cities.

They were only on the road for an hour when it happened .....

I had no clue that there could or would be an ending, but I think I will actually try to take it upon myself to syncretize the story. Does anyone mind if I take a little bit of poetic license with it which would allow it to flow a bit better? I won't change any of the main content but I might elaborate on it a little bit more if that's ok. I imagine I'll undertake this soon if that's alright.

Any plans on doing another? :)
