As counsel for the aforementioned husband, I must point out that my client never said "when" he'd pay.

It is our intention to make payment as originally planned, $400 per year for 40 years, a six pack every two weeks, and the taco meat as per the Piggly Wiggly sales events, which are beyond our control.

Finally, my client is in negotiation with Nigerian Banking interests, which he hopes will result in expedited payment.

I'm hoping that the settlement negotiations took place before you were retained, GUB. I think your client got raped. It's clearly a buyers' market.

Cultural Sketch of the Copala Trique

Interesting. The guy is a Trique Indian, and he is doing what they all do. He had no idea that an arranged marriage for a 14 year old was wrong.

The Copala Trique are known throughout the area for drunkenness
and violence. Feuding and murder (usually with high-powered army rifles)
are very common. Murderers often escape punishment by hiding in the
hills, but sometimes spend time in jail in the local market towns or in the
state penitentiary in Oaxaca.

Because ridicule, gossip, and envy are very common, they all serve as
means of social control. Fear of witchcraft is also a significant factor,
though actual instances of witchcraft appear to be quite infrequent.

The traditional world view of the Trique is essentially pessimistic. They
believe that good things are limited, and that one person's good fortune
therefore means bad fortune for others. For this reason they tend to be
very suspicious and envious of each other, and no one wants to stand out
from the rest as obviously successful. They also believe that change is
inherently for the worse.

7. Religion and Expressive Culture

Copala Trique traditional religion is a blend of pre-Columbian indigenous
religion and late Medieval Spanish folk-Catholic beliefs and practices. For
example, Saint Mark has been equated with the traditional thunder (rain)
god. Every year on 25 April, which is the festival of Saint Mark, the Trique
go to caves, the traditional home of the thunder god, to perform special
ceremonies. They offer food and sacrifice animals to him so that the rains
will come at the proper time, and so that they will not be too heavy.

Saint Mark and other deities are believed to be capricious, or even
malevolent. If the community fails to perform proper rituals in their honor,
they will be angry and send calamities. Ethical behavior on the part of
individuals is not an important factor in traditional religion.

Holy week is also important. On Good Friday and Easter Sunday they
celebrate the fiesta of Cristo, the large crucifix in the church, who is
believed to be distinct from Tatach?. On Easter there is a procession
starting in the morning that lasts all day. Everyone dresses in new
clothes, and the crucifix is carried up along the river, and back again at
dusk.

Another important date is New Year's Day. The Trique believe that at the
end of every year, the slate is wiped clean. As a result, the last few days
in December are considered the best time to kill your enemy.
