I used to work with a woman that did that to her husband. I
thought that was an urban legend, but she carried the article
from the newspaper around with her.
She was a fiesty woman, and I used to think it was funny that
she and a couple other older women (they were in their 50's)
in the group would get together regularly and play poker and
drink beer until 3 or 4 in the morning, then show up to work
at 5:30!
