A MEXICAN couple were recovering separately after a marital spat got out of control and saw them firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs, Mexican daily Milenio said yesterday. In scenes taken straight out of hit romantic comedy Mr and Mrs. Smith starring Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Juan Espinosa and Irma Contreras fought until their house blew up in a homemade gasoline bomb explosion, the paper said.
Police called to the home in the indigenous Mayan Indian town of Oxkutzcab in the southeastern state of Yucatan arrested Mr Espinosa. Ms Contreras was taken to hospital with third-degree burns.
A local police official confirmed the report but declined to provide further information.
In the violence-filled movie about the fictional Smiths, Pitt and Jolie play married assassins ordered to kill each other.
Mr Espinosa told reporters he was glad his wife had suffered burns, while Ms Contreras said said she was only sorry she had not "hacked off his manhood" during the fight.

said she was only sorry she had not "hacked off his manhood" during the fight. There's a good sign that the honeymoon is pretty much over.

That lends all new meaning to "be careful, she/he has a tendency to go off."

For some reason, the first thing I thought of when I saw the title of this thread was Bill and Hillary Clinton.I did too. Flying ashtrays and lamps can be hazardous to one's health.

...firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs... We trained professional counselors know to look for these subtle signs of a fraying relationship...

Hi All-
I wonder how much and what type of gunfire was exchanged. Sounds pretty cool!

Why do I suspect a movie is in the offering?
I guess this is where real life imitates art?

I knew an older couple who were fighting at their rural home. She grabbed the shotgun and fired it at him twice, hitting him once in the neck. He was bleeding profusely from the neck and she told him to drive himself to the hospital because she had to go out and milk the cow. He did drive himself to the hospital and she did milk the cow. She also went to jail when the hospital reported the shotgun wound although the husband tried to convince the authorities it was "no big deal."
Aaaah....true love!
