[Bit 1]

- All right, my husband's Muslim,

and when we got married,

we had to do the Islamic wedding ritual.

For those of you who do not know,

the Islamic wedding ritual is called the niqkah.

I will spell it for you.

It is N as in Nancy, I, K as in Kangaroo,

A, H as in Harold, the knicker.

Problem is I had not seen that word written down

before I heard that shit out loud.

Picture it.

On my wedding day, I'm standing there in my dress.

I'm looking at my husband, so in love.

The guy walks in, he's like,

"We are gathered here today

"to celebrate this blessed knicker."

He kept going, "In the eyes of our love,

"all knickers are beautiful and wonderful.

"This knicker today is special."

I was just like, "What the fuck did this nigga say?

"What did he say?"

Thanks for the compliments, dude,

but you can call me Candace.
