Today, my father was offered 85 sheep for my hand in marriage. We live in the USA, and he is literally contemplating the offer. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my fiancé paid a visit to my parents so he could ask my dad's permission to marry me. My dad responded with, "Why buy the cow when you can milk it for free?" FML
Today, my dad got so drunk that he proposed to me. FML
Today, my dad had a chat with my fiancé, telling him he can do better than me, and to think carefully before going through with our wedding. FML
Today, I happily told my parents that my boyfriend proposed to me last night. My dad's response? "Marry that goofy bastard and you're out of the will." FML
Today, I asked my girlfriend's dad for permission to take her hand in marriage. He said no, because he doesn't want her marrying a "sexist idiot who treats her like property", which he thinks asking permission amounts to, then told me to grow up. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "No", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "Deal." FML
Today, my dad is refusing to let me marry my fiancé because he said no when my dad asked for a loan of £10,000 to help clear some gambling debts. Apparently that shows my fiancé has poor family values and will be a bad father and an alcoholic husband. Impressive logical thinking there. FML
Today, my girlfriend's dad offered me $100 to break up with his daughter. I eagerly replied "no", but my girlfriend grabbed the money and said, "deal." FML
Today, I got married. When my father gave me away, in front of hundreds of people, to my groom, he said, "She's your problem now." FML
Today, my boyfriend of 5 years decided to buy a $2500 taxidermied wolf on eBay. This is the same guy who refuses to get engaged because it would "cost too much right now." FML

If he throws a few goats and pigs in, I'd say it's a good deal! But seriously, what state do you live in? And who is the intended bridegroom?

That's a lot of sheep. It's a pretty good investment.

Get help. NOW. My own grandmother was sold off by her parents to her first husband. All Americans, btw. He was an abusive SOB, and it took her years to finally get away from him.

I would consider it too, you can't hardly beat that offer.

What people don't understand is. Raising and taking care of 85 sheep is expensive; it's not worth it. It's also concerning that he's willing to even think about trading his kid for sheep

My Mum was offered 40 camels and a fridge magnet for me. I think for a moment she seriously considered it. I was not amused.

I know it's kind of a dick move to all you out on word usage, but I have to point out that the way you used "literally" here is almost physically painful. I'm fairly certain, based on context, that you meant to use the word "legitimately." That said, it's complete bullshit that your dad is even remotely considering this. In this day and age, most societies don't consider it okay to do trades for marriage, and the fact that your dad is humoring the idea makes me very concerned for your safety. I suggest seeking refuge with a friend or a family member outside your dad's house until this is sorted out.
