    http://now.msn.com/man-sues-wife-for-being-ugly-after-their-ugly-baby-is-born

    Perhaps next time I get home from the supermarket with the groceries I CHOSE to make my dinner, and suddenly decide I actually feel like something different, I shall sue the checkout operator for not engaging me in a conversation about what I really should be buying to prevent me from such a dilemma.

    Now to be fair he hasn't sued for specific performance (she's a proven performer) but for falling out of the ugly tree and hitting every branch on the way down?

    Wouldn't she have been ugly well before the birth of the kid? or was he in a state of permanent drunkedness and finally sobered up when the kid was born?

    So it wasn't the ugly tree after all, there was human intervention. ;)

    I remember reading that story. Just ridiculous and plastic surgeries destroy marriages…

    That's alright. 2000 years ago in Rome a child wasn't considered to be alive (legally) until the father accepted it. If a father rejected a newborn it was literally thrown on the scrap heap. If he came back from military service and had not seen a somewhat grown child technically he could kill it without retribution.

    When I got married (30 odd years ago) I told her then if she ever got fat and ugly it was down the road for you. I was in the army then living on base. I'd head off to work in the morning and you'd catch glimpses of army wives heading across to the neighbors, kid in one hand, pink dressing gown, fluffy slippers, cig hanging out the corner of their mouths and cuppa coffee in the other hand.
