Man, 80, Files for Divorce, Citing Too Little Sex
Man, 80, Files for Divorce, Citing Too Little Sex
Even when the most offbeat divorce stories cross our news desk, it’s rare that they actually read more like a limerick than a conventional “story”. But that was just the case with a recent story out of Zimbabwe. And thus, I just couldn’t pass by the opportunity to try my hand at my first ever news-limerick:
There once was a man named Obert
Who pleaded in front of the court
Dear judge, please divorce me
My wife won’t oblige, see
So I need to get my freak on with a new sort
While that pretty much sums up the gist of this story, here are a few more details:
Obert Manjengwa, feeling all his 80 years, decided to petition the courts in his native Zimbabwe for a divorce from his 50-year-old wife. His grounds for divorce were that of too little sex, the last encounter being 7 years ago, he claimed (which in dirty dawg years is like 50!). Obert was getting too old to waste any more time begging…I mean “convincing” her for a hand…er…out.
When his wife rejected his claims and then threatened to provide the court with graphic and gory details of his hoo-hoo and of their recent chik-a-bow-bow (think of the musical score that accompanies porno movies), wise Magistrate Miriam Banda took the smart road: (gavel slam) Divorce Denied!
