THE WIFE WHO LIES ABOUT PUMPKINS HAS TO GO
For Ivan Dimitrov, married 18 years to wife Irena, her cheap deceit of substituting inexpensive pumpkins for zucchinis in his favourite pie was simply too much. Ivan launched divorce proceedings after finding pumpkin rinds in the garbage. "She knows I hate pumpkins," Ivan says, "and she lied to me for months. What else has she been lying about? What man could trust a woman who fed him pumpkins for half a year?"

Ok, I'll admit that the story is absurd, but, I can see where he's coming from.
I've been in a relatively similar situation where my boyfriend broke a promise he made to me and lied about it for six months. (And the promise seems silly to everyone that isn't me, but it's the lying part that really bothers me.)

That's hilarious . I could hardly stop laughing after reading the little blurb. Apparently the guy was not much of a prince or a keeper. I mean what type of man is so inobservant to not notice that one the pie is a different color (orangey versus zuccini green) and two that it has a different taste than zuccini for six months?!?!?!

That's what my parents used to do to me when i was being obstinate saying that i didn't like a certain food and i wouldn't even sample it.
If this guy needed to have seen the rests in the trashbin to realize he had been eating pumpkin, he is obviously an idiot by his own free will.
If i was the judge, i would give the divorce (it would be inhumane to force poor Irina to live with such an idiot), and have the man pass her ... dunno... 75% of his salary sounds fair. After all, what would an idiot need the money for? To help fill the world with idiocy?
