From our hostel warden:
"It may rain or it may not rain!"
To add a few from some of our sport's teacher:-
Situation: There were boys playing basket ball and some girls were further away playing volleyball and this teacher gives a command- "Play boy call girl re".
Same teacher in the mess: "boys don't forget to bring your balls with you"- he wanted students to bring their pudding bowls ....
"when I wented there, I felted, very insulted"
"You do PT or don't do- what my father goes- mere baap ka kya jata hai"
In Delhi Univ. mess table scene- One person asks, "pani is?" The other person replies- "iszz", "Then increase"[asking to pass the water jug]
hope you enjoy!~K

Married with is the correct usage in this case.
