My friend had an affair

He's a US Postal carrier and he was delivering the mail and got hit by a car. He spent a few days in the hospital, recuperating, and then got out and had an affair. His wife left him after finding out about the affair.

He doesn't understand it. He was serving his country, got hurt, and had an affair. This is the proper way to do things, right?

Makes sense to me.

2. Maybe he was forced to read get-well-cards that had been Fed-Ex'd.

That would count, right?

3. Well, I hope that the judge at least recognized it...

And awarded nothing to the wife.

We all know that being injured while serving the country provides one a "get out of marriage-free" card.

It's written right there as-plain-as-day in the Republican's "Family Values" manual.

4. I realize you mean well, but being held as a POW for five years is equivalent

to being hit by a car?

5. You are right - John McCain had a comfort woman

while he was a POW whereas you don't get them when you are hit by a car.

That is no excuse.
