Shotgun divorce?

I shot the Mrs,

But I did not shoot her mother, too.

Clearly none of you have had the pleasure of being at my mother’s house when there is a NASCAR race on television.

[Huntress]

This is why I find something else to do when a football game is on. I know very little about football, and have no interest in learning. Since I can’t follow the game, I end up talking at all the wrong times and totally irritate the football fans I’m around. Thus I’ve found it much better to go shopping, read a book, or watch a movie at game time.

The guy's 64 and he's sentenced to 20 years. Hopefully his appeals will go through quickly for a reduced sentence.

Kathryn Huffman, 48, said in court papers seeking a restraining order that the shotgun blast damaged her ability to hear in her left ear.

However, if his wife is half-deaf now, she'll probably be talking a lot louder so maybe he's better off away from her.

Wonder if beer and rednecks were involved?

[thefactor]

couldnt she have declined to press charges? they were home. i guess since it flew out the window it could have been an illegal discharge, reckless endangerment, bla, bla...

the sentence seems excessive.

Note to self...Show this thread to the wife Sunday morning.

[gaijin]

For shooting a gun, he got almost twice as much time as most murderers end up serving.

[dighton]

They like to talk ...

Indeed.

... and it's part of the bargain you get to have sex with them.

So that’s it. I just knew I was getting shortchanged.

[Bonaparte]

Roughly 7 or 8 years ago, a woman in southern California crept up behind her husband while he slumbered in a chair and blew his head off with either a rifle or a shotgun.

Her explanation was that he'd been physically abusing her.

She did no time.

If the account given in this current article is accurate, it sounds like southern California is not a good place for men to live, especially married men.

[RichInOC]

If you shoot at the queen, you’d better kill her.

[MinuteGal]

Didn't the radical feminists claim a couple years back that male violence rises statistically on pro football days?

I vaguely remember something about this.

[Bonaparte]

"At least he will be able to watch foot ball in peace."

That's right. Anybody who interrupts a football game in prison, will get acquainted with the hospital.

Shotgun Formation.

[Petruchio]

So some penalty? Surely! But 20 years?

I think he should have got 10 yards and a loss of down . . .
