The Stench in my Nostrils

Imagine yourself a bereaved widower. You had what you believed to be a wonderful marriage. Sure your kids did not oblige you by becoming Doctors and Lawyers but they are a good lot and you enjoy good relations with all of them. You are very lonely. And then *wham*

From out of your Church comes a well-groomed, articulate showy woman who is all over you. She comes with baggage and bullshit, but the latter outweighs the former especially when you wind up in the bedroom. You choose to overlook the baggage and buy into the bs. and she tells everyone and anyone that God sent you to her to take care of. She tells your children that she thought you were on welfare but since God sent you, she is willing to take care of you.

Your children are not impressed but you are busy in bed and suddenly, your paramour tells you the gossips of the Church are ruining her reputation. She has been slandered. So 27 days after meeting her you marry her.

Boy oh boy you are some kind of chump.

You have one year of wedded bliss although her temper is troublesome.
In the second year you have a mysterious blow to the head and are in hospital for months. Your beloved wife is all for pulling the plug but there isnt one. She is certain you are on your way to heaven and she could not be happier about it. You recover and life is now officially hell. No more pretense. She hates you, sucker.

There is a tiny problem here. This is a true story.

The man is trying desparatly to be rid of this woman but she aint going nowhere.
She spends her days at the lawyers, plotting and scheming. For a woman who claims an income of only 15,000 a year she has an amazing amount of disposable income in which to conduct this case. The case is unnecessary as if this man died today, the woman would get almost 70,000 a year (indexed) for life, regardless of their martial situation. The trouble is, she wants it NOW.

This impacts me because I have to be the cleanup crew.
The woman did dickall to take care of the man. One year. That's it.
She is so shallow and indecent she does not even have the class to resign from the Missions Board she got a place on by virtue of her marriage only. Amazing.

So she will get a huge pension for being a bitch.
And I will get the satisfaction of knowing I honour my parents.


The high road is real lonely.
I feel like dropping some rocks down on the stinker in the bog.
