[pumpkin stew] couples have divorced for less

Now what would you do in this situation?

Let’s say you had a wife of eighteen years standing, whom we’ll call Yeleda D and you both lived in Voronezh in Russia. There’s just been a bumper pumpkin harvest and so she makes stews for you but pretends they’re made from zucchini [courgettes], instead of the less well-regarded but more plentiful pumpkins. For half a year you eat and enjoy these stews and then, one day, you discover the horrifying truth.

What do you do? Why you file for divorce, of course, on the grounds that you can never trust a woman who poisons your food. The court, of course, agrees with you and grants a decree.

  1. Miserable sod. She should have been sneaking prozac in there aswell.

  2. And there we have two opposed views from the ladies. I've learned never to step in between.

  3. She is better off without him. Probably did it deliberately to get rid of him.
