Men caught boozing by their wives in an Indian village now face being slapped across the face by their wives' slippers.
A committee of women at Japalli, in Andhra Pradesh, introduced the punishment in a bid to 'curb the menace of liquor', reports the Press Trust of India.
Any married man discovered drinking will be hauled up before village elders and slapped five times with his wife's leather slipper in front of local residents.
They will also be fined the equivalent of £64. The fines will be handed over to the offenders' wives to spend as they see fit.
The women decided on the touch new measures after their attempts to close local liquor stores ended in failure.
Damn, that's harsh.
Yeah, but in Ted's case, we should let the women use Doc Martens...
What do I get to do to her when she goes on a shopping spree?
Make it a stinky slipper and I'll be happy! :)
Wait a minute! I thought foreign women were supposed to be subservient. It's American women who are bad and give their husbands a hard time.
I guess they don't dare ask the wife to bring a beer out to the living room.
What happens to a husband who keeps his wife barefoot and pregnant?
I think the slipper was on her foot at the time.
Now I'm confused!
;-)
How about one of Hillary's horseshoes?
She'll hit him with a frying pan, wok, crock pot, whatever she can get her hands on....
You mean when she's out buying more slippers with the money she was awarded?
It's enough to drive a man to drink.
Oh, wait, that's how this whole thing started...
Or was it the expensive shoe shopping trips???
Doesn't look like the guys want to read about feminazi foreign wimmin! Da Nile ain't just a river...
LOL!!!
No kidding!
Slippers! You've got to be kidding!
My iron frying pans work wonders.
I think a few days without you know what, and no breakfast, lunch, or dinner would do the trick
per Peacebaby's hubby, "he continues to wear the pants in the family."
and Peacebaby crawls back to her husband on her hands and knees and says, "Get out from under that bed, you gutless wonder!"
and Peacebaby's husband replies, "Yes, dear."
Hubby is with me and he wants to know:
(1) do you use the bottom or the inside
(2) is it pre-heated
(3) or it more like a cold-cock
