HONEY, I THINK WE NEED COUNSELING
Two months after meeting her in Hong Kong in 2001, a New York millionaire married a woman who turned out to be a great disappointment. For example, she apparently enjoyed having sex for money at their luxurious home while he was at work, and used $1 million of his money to buy a brothel back in China.
She also taught their young son to insult him in Chinese, telling the husband they were terms of endearment. Among the things she taught the boy to say: "You are stupid because your wife is sleeping with other men."
SORRY TO DISTURB YOU, I'LL BE GOING NOW ... WHAM!
A burglar broke into a building in Osaka, Japan, in the dead of night was shocked to discover that it was the temporary residence and training center of 20 gigantic sumo wrestlers. They carried out a citizen's arrest.

A 19-year-old, driving his mother's car, reached out and grabbed the rear end of a woman jogging the streets of Tampa, Fla., and then sped off. The lady turned out to be a deputy sheriff. She wrote down the license plate number, and her colleagues showed up at mommy's house shortly afterward.
OK SLEEPYHEAD, TIME TO GET UP
A heavily intoxicated woman climbed into the back seat of a car in a parking lot in Bloomington, Ind., to get some sleep. She was so drunk that she didn't realize that she had gotten into a cop car, which was in the police department lot. After her nap, she had to be let out by police officers because the back doors of squad cars do not open from the inside. She was charged with public intoxication.
OH HONEY, I'M HOME ... WHO'S THIS?
While his wife was at their second home in Florida, a man allowed a woman to live in their Indiana home while she prepared to answer charges of running a house of prostitution. The wife found out about this arrangement and immediately filed for divorce.
WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATRONAGE

HEY, HOLD ON, I'M THE VICTIM HERE!
