Jerry Robertson: Sultan of Love.
I was looking for information on some dude (this is, in essence, what I do for a living) and I came across the birth, marriage, and divorce records for some other dude who has the same name as the first dude. And dude was busy! Pay close attention to the dates here.

I really want to see what this family tree looks like.

I can tell you: a long vertical line.

You have to give the man credit for believing in the power of marriage…even if he kept getting divorced every 6 months. At least he’s not a commitmentphobe.

I’m going to go ahead and diagnose seasonal affective disorder (SAD). JR is burdened by two seemingly diametrically-opposed feelings: (a) the desire to be taken care of over the cold winter months and (b) the vernal euphoria once the ground thaws (mating season). He’s a victim, not a player. Also: Martha J. Davis was a whore.

From Dr. Katz:
Ben: Dad, I think I have S.I.D.S.
Dr. Katz: (puzzled) Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, Ben?
Ben: I mean S.A.D.S
Admittedly, this was a whole lot funnier when I didn’t know there was really a SADS.

I think it’s obvious that Brenda B. DeLane is the whore here, not Martha J. Davis.

Actually . . . they’re all pretty un-whorish. I mean, they were all married! That’s the way God intended, right?
