Apparently JJM has what we used to call “His panties in a wad”. This was generally not a complimentary euphemism. Therefore the vote.
Suggestion.
Lighten the fuck up. Or alternately you could use some sort of instrument to pry them out, taking care not to tear the opening to the anus. I mean you still have to crap or you will just be full of it.
It was pprobably Waiting to Exhale, but if they followed the book, the Angela Basset character was burning her husbands’s possessions (and car), because he had just tod her that he was leaving her for a younger (white) woman.
I don’t think she was cheating on him at all.
There could have been a movie where the girl was burning her boyfriend’s car down to add insult to injury after cheating on him, but I don’t know what it is. And if a theatre crowd applauded that, well, let’s just say I’m glad I’m not watching movies with them.
I don’t know why I typed that, some sort of problem between my fingers and brain. What I meant was “because he cheated on her”. I think you got the movie correct.
I’m wondering if the saxophone-heavy light jazz version of Michael Jackson’s Wanna Be Starting Something (with Diana Ross vocals) was playing in the background.
I came in to add the other two followup jokes, but Jester beat me to it. (Note: There was no violence involved in him beating me.)
I’m reminded of the Carrie Underwood song where she trashes her ex-boyfriend’s SUV for cheating on her. The first time I heard that song, my thought was not pity for her in that she was cheated on, but relief for the guy that he got out of a relationship with a woman that clearly had anger-management issues. I mean, he probably cheated because she drove him away. Not that it excuses the cheating, he should have been honest and done the decent thing and just dumped her. But really? Causing property damage because someone was a jerk to you? Whatever happened to calling up a friend, baring your soul to them and then getting rip-roaring drunk or any other appropriate and mostly harmless stress-relieving recreational activity? And the song was a hit! Did anyone ever actually listen to the lyrics?
I don’t know that one. But not long ago, I heard a song sung by a woman about much the same thing. The lyrics were something like “Aren’t you sorry now that you don’t have me to push around/I hope you’ll be sad forever, you loser/I’m the best thing you ever dumped, and I hope you rot in hell.”
Sheesh, what a whiny bitch. No wonder he left her.
It won all sorts of awards. I’ve never been a fan of country myself as a general rule, and really don’t like the pop-country hybrid stuff (I have no problems with Johnny Cash and his ilk), but you can find information on the song and a link to the lyrics at songfacts: Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood - Songfacts
The trouble with gallows humour is it rarely the person with the rope round their neck who is cracking the gags. Saying that, Pierrepoint was supposed to be a roar in the pub.
