Woman Files For Divorce Over The Way Her Husband Eats Peas
UPI ^ | Jan. 3, 2014 | Evan Bleier

A woman in Kuwait found the way her husband ate his peas to be such a “shocking sight” that she filed for divorce after they had only been married for a week. The woman decided that her husband’s habit of eating peas with bread instead of a fork was an issue that they could not work out.

That’s not the only recent divorce that has nothing to do with infidelity, abuse or communication issues.

Another woman recently filed for divorce because of the way her husband squeezes toothpaste. “We are always arguing,” she reportedly told her lawyer. “I keep telling him that he should squeeze in the end of the tube, but he stubbornly refuses and keeps squeezing it in the middle. He is so obstinate.”

It’s not always just the ladies…

In another recent case, a man ended things with his wife because she wouldn’t bring him a glass of water. After she told him that there was a servant who could do it, they had an argument and he told her their marriage was over.

“One critical issue is that many spouses should use their engagement period to know each other well enough to decide whether they should go on with their union,” said a Kuwaiti legalist. “The traditional times when spouses really met each other after their marriage are over, so there are now good opportunities to know the future life partner and decide whether he or she is the right one.”

A man was explaining that he was a widower three times over.

How did your first wife die?

She ate poison mushrooms.

How did your second wife die?

She ate poison mushrooms.

Astonishing. How did your third wife die.

Blunt force trauma.

Blunt force trauma?

Yes, she didn't like mushrooms.

How to catch a Polar Bear.

Its a well known fact that Polar Bears love Peas.

So, cut a big hole in the ice and line it with peas. Then when the polar bear comes to take a pea, you kick him in the ice hole......

I hope that the High Court agrees with the defendant that peas are problematic.

I knew a woman in her 40s who was getting rather desperate to get married. She was a career type who had amassed a lot of money but evidently found herself alone in middle age. I asked her if she was ever engaged. "Yes," she said, "but I called it off." Err, Why?--"Well, I was talking on the phone with him and he put me on hold to take another call." She told him that since the other call was more important that she was, the engagement was over.

Lucky guy to be rid of such a woman. Later a friend of hers set her up on a blind date with a handsome doctor. I overheard her complaining later about the friend and the doctor. "Just my luck, he's gay!"

Tell her to give me a call. I think we can work something out. How's she look?

Back in the 1980s, there was Leo Buscaglia (sp?). From what little I watched of the guy, I do remember him saying that to resolve the toothpaste disagreement, “Buy two tubes!”.

1. Don’t serve peas anymore.

2. Use two separate tubes of toothpaste. Better yet, his and hers bathrooms.

Mr Ditter slurps his soup but I never thought about divorcing him over it.

Mr. Mercat stirs his soup or his cereal or whatever he has before he eats it. We don’t eat peas unless they are fresh and raw in a salad.

Watermelons are worse. There has never been a socially acceptable way to eat them.

“...And then there was Harry. Remember Harry? He died when he was out...uh...umm...how was it?”
“Picnic. At a picnic.”
“Picnic. Right. Potato salad. You know, some people could look at this string of five deaths and say, “Hey, this is weird. Something’s going on here.”
