Marriage Hell: Till bombs do us part

[ Wednesday, March 15, 2006 09:47:42 pm REUTERS ]

A Mexican couple is recovering separately after a marital spat got out of control and saw them firing guns, throwing knives and hurling homemade bombs at each other, the Mexican daily Milenio reported this week.

In scenes reminiscent of the hit romantic comedy Mr and Mrs Smith, which starred Hollywood stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Juan Espinosa and his wife Irma Contreras fought until their house blew up in a homemade gasoline bomb explosion, Milenio said.

Police called to the home in the town of Oxkutzcab arrested Espinosa. Contreras was taken to hospital with third-degree burns. A local police official confirmed the report, but didn’t provide further information. In the violence-filled movie about the fictional Smiths, Pitt and Jolie play married assassins ordered to kill each other.

Espinosa said he was glad his wife had suffered burns, while Contreras said she was only sorry that she had not “hacked off his manhood’’.

Just remember, it's not serious until someone resorts to mortars, other artillery, or airstrikes. :-D

Thank goodness this fight was brought under control before the mothers-in-law were called in!

OR

It appears the marriage counseling has been working. Their last fight was much worse!

OR

He left the seat up again and her being on her period... well what do you expect?

OR

ABC is planning to sue the couple for spilling the beans about the plot of an upcoming episode of "Desperate Housewives".

I can only imagine the laughs in the confessional that this is going to cause.

Think the priests will grant an annullment?

Wow, why would you remain in a bad marriage until it got so bad that you were actually hurling bombs at each other?

Does this mean they don't love each other anymore or are they just taco-loco?

She should have just given up the remote control and all this could have been avoided, lol. Reminds me of the movie The War Of The Roses.

I remember reading about a couple somewhere in the Balkans, I believe - some dangerous place with so much military hardware laying around, leftover from the fighting. Anyhow, their little domestic dispute escalated and got out of hand, she took off, he grabbed a grenade launcher and went after her, fired, missed her and blew up the house.

Good grief. A divorce would be so much simpler.
