You Just Can't Trust 'Em

A Russian man has filed for divorce from his wife after the devastating discovery that she has been feeding him pumpkins in his pies rather than the apparently more desireable courgettes that she had brazenly led him to believe that he was eating. My favorite bit is that she had been engaging in this nefarious bait and switch for six months, and though he has been cherishing the pies, he argued, "She knows I absolutely hate pumpkins and she lied to me for months about it just because the pumpkins were cheap."


Hatred is a fickle, and, for stretches of up to half-a-year, elusive thing, dear reader.


Following up his unassailable pumpkin-loathing argument with another glittering display of logical mastery, he concluded, "What else has she been lying about? What man could trust a woman who fed him pumpkins for half a year?"


Indeed.

Mental note: Keep eye on new wife for pumpkin-trickery.

This is true. You can't. The old adage about the milk and the cow rings true.

You're getting married...why is that again?

Fare thee well Dcat, fare thee well.
