Did the husband flap and wave the blanket after farting? If so, no jury in the world will convict Florida Woman.

for this kind of thing.



A South Carolina woman, Helen Ann Williams, was arrested on Christmas Day for stabbing her common-law husband with a ceramic squirrel the night before.

His crime? Heading out to buy beer, finding the store closed, and thus returning home to his wife empty-handed – it was Christmas Eve, after all.

His wife was apparently so incensed about her husband being beer-less, she picked up a ceramic squirrel (who doesn’t have a ceramic squirrel?), hit him over the head with it, then stabbed him in the shoulder and chest.

...because those who remember him know that the quickest way to get a rise out of him was to either post something about not wearing pants, or to do a Dutch Oven post.



Merry Christmas, Jim.
