> In England they allow anything up to first cousins to marry - hence
my two heads and cloven hooves (my mother's parents were first cousins;
two of my great grandparents were sisters).

If it's any comfort, having two heads did wonders for Zaphod Beeblebrox's
career.

You don't need to imagine it in the magical world, just look at any
hillbilly joke sites. Someone on one of these lists complained that
'hillbilly' is an ethnic slur, but I am certain that the content of
those jokes would be just as offensive if they were called 'working class
white rural Southerner' jokes. If you are lucky enough not to know what
I'm talking about, one of Jeff Foxworthy's "You Might be a Redneck If"
is "if your family tree don't branch".i
