There's never, never, never, EVER an excuse or reason to hit a woman. Ever. Except for one.

If she's riding in the car with you, and she's stepping on an imaginary brake while you drive, all bets are OFF.

On a serious note, the term "rule of thumb" comes from the English common law where it was legal to beat your wife, as long as the stick wasn't any thicker than your thumb.

And, for the record, I feel about wife beaters the same way that Sonny Corleone did when he caught his brother in law beating his sister.

Self defense? That isn't an excuse. It's a legally accepted reason.

Not funny.

Hoax.

What about women who abuse their husbands, then use an openly rigged familiy court system to get away with it.

Interesting. In the Holy Quran it states the same thing.

I wonder if anyone has measured the laundry stick and the muslim perp's thumb?

That rule of thumb stuff has been debunked as often as it’s put out by no-nothing feminists.

No, it doesn’t. You have been propagandized. Spread the word.

LOL!! I've started just taking "naps" when I'm in the suicide seat. It's an excuse to keep my eyes closed. At least I'll be relaxed when the crash comes.
