My wife's in the living room watching Wheel of Fortune. Every show starts off with an introduction of the contestants during which each contestant says a little about themselves. Invariable they say something like, "I have a wonderful husband and three fantastic children," or "I'm here with my lovely wife Sandy and our two beautiful daughters," or some slight variant. One of tonight's contestants went about as far from the script as I've ever heard when he said, "I have a smokin' hot wife."
Are you like me? Wouldn't you—just once—like to see someone tell Pat Sajak, "I'm here with my useless, soon-to-be ex by whom I have two lovely children and a third with a face so ugly it could stop a freight train."
