Hah! Funnily enough, the ambiguity of the verb "marry" has come up this class before. I commented in one lecture that there are not many natural ternary relations in English (which is why "X is between Y and Z" is always the example that gets used), and one of my TAs piped up with "X married Y and Z", which I have now incorporated into my arsenal because I enjoy its ambiguity!
