A 78-year-old Titusville man has been convicted of bigamy and has been handed an 18-month conditional sentence for being married to two women at the same time.

Robert Cassidy sat in a wheelchair in a Saint John courtroom on Tuesday for his sentencing.

The story ends - Cassidy will serve the suspended sentence at his current residence at Yvonne's Special Care Home in Titusville under the conditions that he keep the peace and attend any suggested counselling.

Cassidy is also not allowed to be left alone with any female residents.

You just can't make this stuff up. lol

I attended a church group monthly dinner and heard an interesting tale.

An old (really old 80 ish) gentleman was asked about what he did. He said I go on cruises. He went on cruises to meet the throngs of old ladies there. He told of one cruise where he got in trouble because the woman from a previous cruise had a stateroom across the hall from him and the current woman.

When asked how he met the women, he said “It’s easy. I put on my Powder blue dinner jacket and go sit down front in the auditorium. They just come”

After reading the article, there's at least a half-dozen jokes that write themselves.

It was the second time he'd been busted for bigamy.

I knew a guy in a nursing home where my grandmother used to live (before she died) who ran around asking all the women to marry him. His mind wasn’t quite there anymore. Maybe this guy was just senile.

I can’t believe the haters opposed to this man’s marriages. If we’re going to redefine marriage to say love is the most important criteria, who are we to say this man didn’t love both of his wives and therefore deserved to marry both? At least both sexes were represented and could have potentially consummated their union. A homosexual mutual masturbatory event cannot accomplish even that.

All he has to do is change his name to Mohammad ....

At that age, it isn’t like he was going to get them pregnant anytime soon.

Our laws allow men to marry men or dogs or what the hell ever and “BIGAMY” at age 80 plus is a big problem?
