Most of the time when wives cheat on their husbands, they don’t receive public humiliation. But, when the husband is a loyal listener of the Paul and Young Ron Show, all bets are off.
Paul and Young Ron claim to “have always had their listeners’ backs,” and this story certainly teaches not to get on their bad sides.
One woman, dubbed the “Boot Camp Tramp” by the show’s listeners because her husband was training to be a customs agent while she allegedly cheated on him, was put in her place on Friday morning. When she left her home, a plane followed her trailing a banner that read “Boot Camp Tramp Below.”
The alleged cheater, now the ex-wife of the loyal Paul and Young Ron listener, was followed all the way to work at Port Everglades by the plane and banner while the play-by-play was broadcast on the radio.
I wonder how many people get this reference these days.
It's a reference to something?
Cuckolding?
That guy was the justice minister of Portugal until recently. When he made that gesture above to an opponent, he was forced to resign, so I guess some places they do.
“Planted horns on his head” meant cuckolding in older times.
Yes, specifically the term “She planted horns on his head.”
I just finished watching The Rose Tattoo (1955) on DVD about 15 minutes ago, the desperately distraught, Sicilian born woman in an Italian/American neighborhood kept asking her Priest if the rumor was true, did her dead husband "plant horns on her head".
Because of the context I got it, but I was sure puzzled by the phrase.
Dozens, possibly hundreds, of references to this in Shakespeare.
BTW, one of Julius Caesar’s more subtle political maneuvers, prior to his getting into civil war, was to plant horns on his political opponents. Apparently he managed to plant them on a good proportion of the Senate.
This gave other Senators an incentive not to get on his bad side.
