Well, as the man said as he passed the 20th floor after jumping off the 60th floor, "Everything is fine so far."

He saw to it that she would live to regret it.

Shucks...I would have expected a story like that out of Texas.

Wonder what would happen if I got a bunch of those balloons, put them in a bus with prison markings on it, and parked it outside a Wal-Mart in Texas?

A guy I used to work with did something like this during his divorce- he started chopping everything he could get his hands on, in half with a chain-saw. I think he's still making payments on a bunch of the stuff he destroyed...

Never underestimate the krauts, they can even show humor (if forced). It now turns out that this was a spoof set off by the German Bar Association (i.e. their online arm where you can select attorneys for certain assignments) to get people to think about getting legal advice in separation scenarios early on!

https://anwaltauskunft.de/magazin/gesellschaft/panorama/1046/wir-sind-martin-g/

They admitted as much now: "We are Martin G." (the man with the saw). They are extremely pleased how quickly it went viral. The halved items do exist however and are sold on ebay, proceeds will go to charity.

Who'd have thought that a German Bar Association publicity stunt would end up here in this forum of fora? Global village alright.  :mrgreen:

More to the point, how did our very own resident  German lawyer not have anything to do with it?

I'm a member, but I'm innocent!

That is a thing Germans always tend to say in the aftermath.  :mrgreen:
